Managing Security Risk By Using Common Security Configurations
 Issued By: OMB - Effective Date: 03.20.2007, 0.064K, DOC
Abstract: Common security configurations provide a baseline level of security, reduce risk from security threats and vulnerabilities, and save time and resources. This allows agencies to improve system performance, decrease operating costs, and ensure public confidence in the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of government information. This memorandum requires your agency to develop plans for using the Microsoft Windows XP and Vista security configurations with an implementation date of no later than February 1, 2008.
