Slide3 : Windows Vista Overview
Windows Vista Security
Fundamentals
Threat and Vulnerability Mitigation
Identify and Access Control
Information Protection
Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance
Slide4 : Improve security and compliance Find and use information Optimize desktop infrastructure Enable mobile workforce IT Pros End Users
Slide5 : End Users Find and use information Enable mobile workforce Search – start menu, control panel, document folder
Metadata tags - easy to Search and Organize Your Data
Tabbed browsing – IE7 and web printing
ReadyBoost – USB extends memory
Windows Aero – tabbed browsing
High Performing, Reliable PC
NAP – ensures secure state before connecting to the network (more secure)
Easier to Connect, Collaborate, and Share
Mobility center – puts most commonly used controls in one location
Sync Center – data and devices switch between online and offline states
Slide6 : Improve security and compliance Optimize desktop infrastructure IE7 Protected Mode – prevents silent install of malicious code
Services hardening – prevents windows services from being used for abnormal activity
UAC – admin vs. standard
Anti-phishing
Group policy – easier desktop management
Fundamentally Secure Platform
Cost Effective Networking – automatically optimizes file transfers by detecting how much network bandwidth is available
Support Costs = network diagnostics/built-in diagnostics for self healing
Reducing Deployment Costs andamp; Complexity
IT Pros
Slide7 : demo
Slide8 : TIME ACTIVITY e Gov Services and Access Security / IT governance improvements Financial and political risk
Slide9 : Keep systems secure from malware/spyware
Rootkits, keystroke loggers, bots
Worms, viruses
Phishing attacks
Keep inside information inside
Lost/stolen laptops and desktops
Hacking
Accidental/intentional information leaks
Decommissioned/donated PCs
Simplify identity and access management functions
Slide10 :
Slide11 :
Design
Define security architecture and design guidelines
Document elements of software attack surface
Threat Modeling Standards, best practices, and tools
Apply coding and testing standards
Apply security tools (fuzzing tools, static-analysis tools, etc) Security Push
Security code reviews
Focused security testing
Review against new threats
Meet signoff criteria Final Security Review
Independent review conducted by the security team
Penetration testing
Archiving of compliance info
RTM and Deployment
Signoff Security Response
Plan and process in place
Feedback loop back into the development process
Postmortems Product Inception
Assign security advisor
Identify security milestones
Plan security integration into product
Slide12 : Service Hardening Services run with reduced privilege compared to Windows XP
Windows services profiled for allowed actions to the network, file system, and registry
Designed to block attempts by malicious software to make a Windows service write to an area of the network, file system, or registry that isn’t part of that service’s profile Active

Code quality improvements (SDLC)
ActiveX Opt-in
Protected Mode to prevent malicious software
Slide15 : Improved Detection and Removal
Redesigned and Simplified User Interface
Protection for all users
Slide16 : Remove most prevalent viruses Remove all known viruses Real-time antivirus Remove all known spyware Real-time antispyware Central reporting and alerting Customization

Slide17 : demo
Slide18 : Combined firewall and IPsec management
New management tools – Windows Firewall with Advanced Security MMC snap-in
Reduces conflicts and coordination overhead between technologies
Firewall rules become more intelligent
Specify security requirements such as authentication and encryption
Specify Active Directory computer or user groups
Outbound filtering
Enterprise management feature – not for consumers
Simplified protection policy reduces management overhead

Slide21 : Challenges Windows Vista Solution Easier to Run as Standard User
Users can do more on their own
Change time zone, power settings, VPN, and more
Install approved devices
Admin commands clearly marked
Higher application compatibility
File and registry virtualization Greater Protection for Admins
Software runs with lower privileges by default
Administrator provides consent before elevation Most users run with full administrator privileges all the time
At risk from malware
Can’t manage desktops or enforce policy
Expensive to support
Difficult to run a standard user
User can’t perform many tasks
Many applications don’t run
Slide22 : View system clock and calendar
Change time zone
Configure secure wireless (WEP/WPA) connection
Change power management settings
Create and configure a Virtual Private Network connection
Add printers and other devices that have the required drivers installed or allowed by IT policy
Disk defragmentation is a scheduled background process
Shield icon consistently marks what actions a standard user cannot perform
Slide23 : demo
Slide24 : More Granularity
New subcategories for Logon, logoff, file system access, registry access, use of administrative privilege
New Logging Infrastructure
Easier to filter out 'noise' in logs and find the event you’re looking for
Tasks tied to events: When an event occurs, such as administrative privilege use, tasks such as sending an Email to an auditor can run automatically
Slide25 :
Slide26 : Internal threats are just as prevalent as external threats Intentional Accidental Targeted Careless forwarding of documents and Emails
Machine disposal or repurposing without data wipe
Data lost in transit
Confidential data copied via USB and other mobile devices Untrusted network administrator accesses unauthorized data
Offline attack on lost/stolen laptop
Forwarding of internal-only Email and documents to external parties Branch office server containing directory or database
CxO or government official laptop or mobile device
Thief plugs external storage device into machine to copy data
Slide27 : BitLocker Drive Encryption enhances the security value of all registry, configuration files, paging files, and hibernation files stored on the fully encrypted volume
Encryption of the hibernation file
Protects against hibernation of laptop with sensitive docs open
Recovery available to any customer with access to a phone and their Administrator
Destroying root key allows for the safe re-deployment of corporate hardware by making previous data inaccessible
Not an end-user feature
Strong interest in enterprise IT
Slide28 : 28 BDE offers a spectrum of protection allowing customers to balance ease-of-use against the threats they are most concerned with.
Slide29 : Nothing Reformat drive Admin wipes drive Delete keys Normal 'Force Recovery' versus
Slide30 : Who are you protecting against?
Other users or administrators on the machine? EFS
Unauthorized users with physical access? BitLocker™ Some cases can result in overlap. (e.g. Multi-user roaming laptops with untrusted network admins)

Application Virtualization Microsoft Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management Microsoft Asset Inventory Services Accelerate deployment and
increase manageability
Dynamically deliver the virtual application solution
Minimize application compatibility issues
Transform applications into centrally managed services available when and where needed
Translating Software Inventory into business intelligence
Powerful tools to accelerate desktop repair
Enhancing group policy with change management
Slide33 : Some organizations may benefit from just using Vista Business with minimal application compatibility testing Most Enterprise organizations require more formal procedures for application lifecycle, problem, change and asset management Many organizations require a more robust asset, application and end to end infrastructure administration definition Size Complexity +Application

Slide36 : 'The bottom line: we give Vista a thumbs up — at least pending the acid test of attempts by hackers and virus writers to locate and penetrate the operating system’s vulnerabilities. If your agency or department has a pressing need for greater security, you should move to Vista as soon as possible.'
