Least Privilege Security is the practice of assigning users and programs the minimum permissions required to complete a given task. Implementing this principle in different versions of Microsoft Windows requires careful planning and a good understanding of Windows security. While there are benefits in implementing Least Privilege Security on the desktop, there are many technical challenges that you will face when restricting privileges.
In our company, we are about to plan the rollout for Windows 7, so this book sounds interesting to me. Packt Publishing has promised to send me a copy of this book in return for a review. I’m looking forward to receiving it.
To get a first impression of the content and it’s quality, here is a link to Chapter No. 3 – Solving Least privilege Problems with the Application Compatibility Toolkit .
Happy reading!
