If enabled, local accounts that are not password protected will only be able to log on at the computer's keyboard. | +| Security Options | Audit: Force audit policy subcategory settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings | Enabled | Windows Vista and later versions of Windows allow audit policy to be managed in a more precise way using audit policy subcategories. Setting audit policy at the category level will override the new subcategory audit policy feature. Group Policy only allows audit policy to be set at the category level, and existing Group Policy may override the subcategory settings of new machines as they are joined to the domain or upgraded. To allow audit policy to be managed using subcategories without requiring a change to Group Policy, there is a new registry value in Windows Vista and later versions, SCENoApplyLegacyAuditPolicy, which prevents the application of category-level audit policy from Group Policy and from the Local Security Policy administrative tool. | +| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member must be signed or encrypted. This setting determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member meets minimum security requirements. Specifically, it determines whether all secure channel traffic initiated by the domain member must be signed or encrypted. If this policy is enabled, then the secure channel will not be established unless either signing or encryption of all secure channel traffic is negotiated. If this policy is disabled, then encryption and signing of all secure channel traffic is negotiated with the Domain Controller in which case the level of signing and encryption depends on the version of the Domain Controller and the settings of the following two policies:
- Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible)
- Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) | +| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether a domain member attempts to negotiate encryption for all secure channel traffic that it initiates. If enabled, the domain member will request encryption of all secure channel traffic. If the domain controller supports encryption of all secure channel traffic, then all secure channel traffic will be encrypted. Otherwise, only logon information transmitted over the secure channel will be encrypted. If this setting is disabled, then the domain member will not attempt to negotiate secure channel encryption. | +| Security Options | Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether a domain member attempts to negotiate signing for all secure channel traffic that it initiates. If enabled, the domain member will request signing of all secure channel traffic. If the Domain Controller supports signing of all secure channel traffic, then all secure channel traffic will be signed, which ensures that it cannot be tampered with in transit. | +| Security Options | Interactive logon: Smart card removal behavior | Lock Workstation | This security setting determines what happens when the smart card for a logged-on user is removed from the smart card reader. If you click **Lock Workstation** in the **Properties** for this policy, the workstation is locked when the smart card is removed, allowing users to leave the area, take their smart cards with them, and still maintain protected sessions. For this setting to work beginning with Windows Vista, the Smart Card Removal Policy service must be started. | +| Security Options | Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether packet signing is required by the SMB client component. | +| Security Options | Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always) | Enabled | This security setting determines whether packet signing is required by the SMB server component. | +| Security Options | Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts | Enabled | This security setting determines what additional permissions will be granted for anonymous connections to the computer. Windows allows anonymous users to perform certain activities, such as enumerating the names of domain accounts and network shares. This is convenient, for example, when an administrator wants to grant access to users in a trusted domain that does not maintain a reciprocal trust. This security option allows additional restrictions to be placed on anonymous connections as follows: Enabled: Do not allow enumeration of SAM accounts. This option replaces Everyone with Authenticated Users in the security permissions for resources. | +| Security Options | Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares | Enabled | This security setting determines whether anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares is allowed. Windows allows anonymous users to perform certain activities, such as enumerating the names of domain accounts and network shares. This is convenient, for example, when an administrator wants to grant access to users in a trusted domain that does not maintain a reciprocal trust. If you do not want to allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares, then enable this policy. | +| Security Options | Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares | Enabled | When enabled, this security setting restricts anonymous access to shares and pipes to the settings for:
- Network access: Named pipes that can be accessed anonymously
- Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously | +| Security Options | Network security: Allow PKU2U authentication requests to this computer to use online identities. | Disabled | This policy will be turned off by default on domain joined machines. This would prevent online identities from authenticating to the domain joined machine. | +| Security Options | Network security: LDAP client signing requirements | Negotiate signing | This security setting determines the level of data signing that is requested on behalf of clients issuing LDAP BIND requests, as follows: Negotiate signing: If Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS\\SSL) has not been started, the LDAP BIND request is initiated with the LDAP data signing option set in addition to the options specified by the caller. If TLS\\SSL has been started, the LDAP BIND request is initiated with the options that are specified by the caller. | +| Security Options | System objects: Strengthen default permissions of internal system objects (e.g. Symbolic Links) | Enabled | This security setting determines the strength of the default discretionary access control list (DACL) for objects. Active Directory maintains a global list of shared system resources, such as DOS device names, mutexes, and semaphores. In this way, objects can be located and shared among processes. Each type of object is created with a default DACL that specifies who can access the objects and what permissions are granted. If this policy is enabled, the default DACL is stronger, allowing users who are not administrators to read shared objects but not allowing these users to modify shared objects that they did not create. | +| Security Options | User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users | Automatically deny elevation requests | This policy setting controls the behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users. Automatically deny elevation requests: When an operation requires elevation of privilege, an access denied error message is displayed. An enterprise that is running desktops as standard user may choose this setting to reduce help desk calls. | + +### Computer Policies + +| Feature | Policy Setting | Policy Value | Description | +|----------|-----------------|---------------|--------------| +| Control Panel / Personalization | Prevent enabling lock screen camera | Enabled | Disables the lock screen camera toggle switch in PC Settings and prevents a camera from being invoked on the lock screen. By default, users can enable invocation of an available camera on the lock screen. If you enable this setting, users will no longer be able to enable or disable lock screen camera access in PC Settings and the camera cannot be invoked on the lock screen. | +| Control Panel / Personalization | Prevent enabling lock screen slide show | Enabled | Disables the lock screen slide show settings in PC Settings and prevents a slide show from playing on the lock screen. By default, users can enable a slide show that will run after they lock the machine. if you enable this setting, users will no longer be able to modify slide show settings in PC Settings and no slide show will ever start. | +| Windows Defender SmartScreen / Explorer | Configure App Install Control | Allow apps from Store only | App Install Control is a feature of Windows Defender SmartScreen that helps protect PCs by allowing users to install apps only from the Store. SmartScreen must be enabled for this feature to work properly. | +| System / Device Installation / Device Installation Restrictions | Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs | Enabled | This policy setting allows you to specify a list of Plug and Play hardware IDs and compatible IDs for devices that Windows is prevented from installing. This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy setting that allows Windows to install a device. if you enable this policy setting, Windows is prevented from installing a device whose hardware ID or compatible ID appears in a list that you create. If you enable this policy setting on a remote desktop server, the policy setting affects redirection of the specified devices from a remote desktop client to the remote desktop server. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, devices can be installed and updated as allowed or prevented by other policy settings. | +| System / Device Installation / Device Installation Restrictions | Prevent installation of devices using drivers that match these device setup classes | Enabled | This policy setting allows you to specify a list of device setup class globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) for device drivers that Windows is prevented from installing. This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy setting that allows Windows to install a device. if you enable this policy setting, Windows is prevented from installing or updating device drivers whose device setup class GUIDs appear in the list you create. If you enable this policy setting on a remote desktop server, the policy setting affects redirection of the specified devices from a remote desktop client to the remote desktop server. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows can install and update devices as allowed or prevented by other policy settings. | +| System / Internet Communication Management / Internet Communication settings | Turn off downloading of print drivers over HTTP | Enabled | This policy setting specifies whether to allow this client to download print driver packages over HTTP. To set up HTTP printing non-inbox drivers need to be downloaded over HTTP. Note: This policy setting does not prevent the client from printing to printers on the Intranet or the Internet over HTTP. It only prohibits downloading drivers that are not already installed locally. if you enable this policy setting, print drivers cannot be downloaded over HTTP. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can download print drivers over HTTP. | +| System / Internet Communication Management / Internet Communication settings | Turn off printing over HTTP | Enabled | This policy setting specifies whether to allow printing over HTTP from this client. Printing over HTTP allows a client to print to printers on the intranet as well as the Internet. Note: This policy setting affects the client side of Internet printing only. It does not prevent this computer from acting as an Internet Printing server and making its shared printers available via HTTP. if you enable this policy setting, it prevents this client from printing to Internet printers over HTTP.

[Explicit control](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/create-initial-default-policy) when the software on a device is static and tightly controlled | Application control is a crucial line of defense for protecting enterprises given today’s threat landscape, and it has an inherent advantage over traditional antivirus solutions. Specifically, application control moves away from the traditional application trust model where all applications are assumed trustworthy by default to one where applications must earn trust in order to run. Application Control can help mitigate these types of security threats by restricting the applications that users can run and the code that runs in the System Core (kernel). WDAC policies also block unsigned scripts and MSIs, and Windows PowerShell runs in [Constrained Language Mode](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/powershell-constrained-language-mode/). | + +## Behaviors + +The behaviors recommended in level 3 represent the most sophisticated security +configuration. Removing admin rights can be difficult, but it is essential to +achieve a level of security commensurate with the risks facing the most targeted +organizations. + +| Feature Set | Feature | Description | +|--------------|----------|--------------| +| Remove Admin Rights | Remove as many users as possible from the local Administrators group, targeting 0. Microsoft recommends removing admin rights role by role. Some roles are more challenging, including:
- Developers, who often install rapidly iterating software which is difficult to package using current software distribution systems
- Scientists/ Doctors, who often must install and operate specialized hardware devices
- Remote locations with slow web links, where administration is delegated
It is typically easier to address these roles later in the process.
Microsoft recommends identifying the dependencies on admin rights and systematically addressing them:
- Legitimate use of admin rights: crowdsourced admin, where a new process is needed to complete that workflow
- Illegitimate use of admin rights: app compat dependency, where app remediation is the best path. The [Desktop App Assure](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/What-is-Desktop-App-Assure/ba-p/270232) program can assist with these app issues | Running as non-admin limits your exposure. When you are an admin, every program you run has unlimited access to your computer. If malicious code finds its way to one of those programs, it also gains unlimited access. When an exploit runs with admin privileges, its ability to compromise your system is much greater, its ability to do so without detection is much greater, and its ability to attack others on your network is greater than it would be with only User privileges. If you’re running as admin, an exploit can:
- install kernel-mode rootkits and/or keyloggers
- install and start services
- install ActiveX controls, including IE and shell add-ins
- access data belonging to other users
- cause code to run whenever anybody else logs on (including capturing passwords entered into the Ctrl-Alt-Del logon dialog)
- replace OS and other program files with trojan horses
- disable/uninstall anti-virus
- cover its tracks in the event log
- render your machine unbootable | + + + + + diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-4-enterprise-high-security.md b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-4-enterprise-high-security.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2986d0f69e --- /dev/null +++ b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/level-4-enterprise-high-security.md @@ -0,0 +1,209 @@ +--- +title: Level 4 enterprise high security configuration +description: Describes the policies, controls, and organizational behaviors for Windows security configuration framework level 4 enterprise security configuration. +keywords: virtualization, security, malware +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: deploy +ms.localizationpriority: medium +ms.author: appcompatguy +author: appcompatguy +manager: dansimp +audience: ITPro +ms.collection: M365-security-compliance +ms.topic: conceptual +ms.date: 04/05/2018 +--- + +# Level 4 enterprise high security configuration + +**Applies to** + +- Windows 10 + +Level 4 is the security configuration recommended as a standard for devices where users access more sensitive information.

The LM hash is relatively weak and prone to attack, as compared with the cryptographically stronger Windows NT hash. Since the LM hash is stored on the local computer in the security database the passwords can be compromised if the security database is attacked. | +| Security Options | Network security: LAN Manager authentication level | Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM | This security setting determines which challenge/response authentication protocol is used for network logons. This choice affects the level of authentication protocol used by clients, the level of session security negotiated, and the level of authentication accepted by servers as follows: Send NTLMv2 response only\\refuse LM & NTLM: Clients use NTLMv2 authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it; domain controllers refuse LM and NTLM (accept only NTLMv2 authentication). | +| Security Options | Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients | Require NTLMv2 session security and Require 128-bit encryption | This security setting allows a client to require the negotiation of 128-bit encryption and/or NTLMv2 session security. These values are dependent on the LAN Manager Authentication Level security setting value. | +| Security Options | Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers | Require NTLMv2 session security and Require 128-bit encryption | This security setting allows a server to require the negotiation of 128-bit encryption and/or NTLMv2 session security.

The DoS consists of sending a NetBIOS Name Release Request to the server for each entry in the server's cache, causing a response delay in the normal operation of the server's WINS resolution capability. | + +## Controls + +The controls enforced in level 4 implement more controls and a more sophisticated security +configuration than level 5. While they may have a slightly higher impact to +users or to applications, they enforce a level of security more commensurate +with the risks facing users with access to sensitive information. Microsoft +recommends using the Audit/Enforce methodology for controls with an Audit mode, +and [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates) for those that do not, with a moderate timeline that +is anticipated to be slightly longer than the process in level 5. + +| Feature Set | Feature | Description | +|-------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------------| +| [Exploit protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/exploit-protection-exploit-guard) | Enforce memory protection for OS-level controls:
- Control flow guard (CFG)
- Data Execution Protection (DEP)
- Mandatory ASLR
- Bottom-Up ASLR
- High-entropy ASLR
- Validate Exception Chains (SEHOP)
- Validate heap integrity | Exploit protection helps protect devices from malware that use exploits to spread and infect to other devices. It consists of several mitigations that can be applied at either the operating system level, or at the individual app level. There is a risk to application compatibility, as some applications may rely on blocked behavior (e.g. dynamically generating code without marking memory as executable). Microsoft recommends gradually deploying this configuration using [the rings methodology](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates). | +| [Attack Surface Reduction (ASR)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard)| Configure and enforce [Attack Surface Reduction rules](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/attack-surface-reduction-exploit-guard#attack-surface-reduction-rules)| Attack surface reduction controls help prevent actions and apps that are typically used by exploit-seeking malware to infect machines. There is a risk to application compatibility, as some applications may rely on blocked behavior (e.g. an Office application spawning a child process). Each control has an Audit mode, and as such, Microsoft recommends the Audit / Enforce Methodology (repeated here):
1) Audit – enable the controls in audit mode, and gather audit data in a centralized location
2) Review – review the audit data to assess potential impact (both positive and negative) and configure any exemptions from the security control you need to configure
3) Enforce – Deploy the configuration of any exemptions and convert the control to enforce mode | +| [Network protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/network-protection-exploit-guard) | Configure and enforce Network Protection | Network protection helps to prevent employees from using any application to access dangerous domains that may host phishing scams, exploits, and other malicious content on the Internet. It expands the scope of Windows Defender SmartScreen to block all outbound HTTP(s) traffic that attempts to connect to low-reputation sources (based on the domain or hostname). There is a risk to application compatibility, as a result of false positives in flagged sites. Microsoft recommends deploying using the Audit / Enforce Methodology. | + +## Behaviors + +The behaviors recommended in level 4 implement a more sophisticated security process. While they may require a more sophisticated organization, they enforce +a level of security more commensurate with the risks facing users with access to +sensitive information. + +| Feature Set| Feature | Description | +|------------|----------|--------------| +| Antivirus | Configure Protection Updates to failover to retrieval from Microsoft | Sources for Windows Defender Antivirus Protection Updates can be provided in an ordered list.

1) Not contain the user's samAccountName (Account Name) value or entire displayName (Full Name value). Neither check is case sensitive.
The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this check is skipped. The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens) are confirmed to not be included in the password. Tokens that are less than three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin", "M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password.
2) Contain characters from three of the following categories:
- Uppercase letters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
- Lowercase letters of European languages (a through z, sharp-s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
- Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
-Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters):
(~!@#$%^&*_-+=`\|\\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/)
Currency symbols such as the Euro or British Pound are not counted as special characters for this policy setting.
- Any Unicode character that is categorized as an alphabetic character but is not uppercase or lowercase. This includes Unicode characters from Asian languages. | +| Password Policy | Store passwords using reversible encryption | Disabled | Determines whether the operating system stores passwords using reversible encryption. | +| Security Options | Accounts: Guest account status | Disabled | Determines if the Guest account is enabled or disabled. | +| Security Options | Domain member: Disable machine account password changes | Disabled | Determines whether a domain member periodically changes its computer account password. | +| Security Options | Domain member: Maximum machine account password age | 30 | Determines how often a domain member will attempt to change its computer account password | +| Security Options | Domain member: require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key | Enabled | Determines whether 128-bit key strength is required for encrypted secure channel data | +| Security Options | Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit | 900 | The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is locked | +| Security Options | User Account Control: Admin approval mode for the built-in administrator | Enabled | The built-in Administrator account uses Admin Approval Mode - any operation that requires elevation of privilege will prompt to user to approve that operation | +| Security Options | User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode | Prompt for consent on the secure desktop | When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted on the secure desktop to enter a privileged user name and password.

Its main features include: +- Highlight when a set of Group Policies has redundant settings or internal inconsistencies +- Highlight the differences between versions or sets of Group Policies +- Compare GPOs against current local policy and local registry settings +- Export results to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet + +Policy Analyzer lets you treat a set of GPOs as a single unit. This makes it easy to determine whether particular settings are duplicated across the GPOs or are set to conflicting values. Policy Analyzer also lets you capture a baseline and then compare it to a snapshot taken at a later time to identify changes anywhere across the set. + +More information on the Policy Analyzer tool can be found on the [Microsoft Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2016/01/22/new-tool-policy-analyzer/) or by [downloading the tool](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319). + +## What is the Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) tool? + +LGPO.exe is a command-line utility that is designed to help automate management of Local Group Policy. +Using local policy gives administrators a simple way to verify the effects of Group Policy settings, and is also useful for managing non-domain-joined systems. +LGPO.exe can import and apply settings from Registry Policy (Registry.pol) files, security templates, Advanced Auditing backup files, as well as from formatted “LGPO text” files. +It can export local policy to a GPO backup. +It can export the contents of a Registry Policy file to the “LGPO text” format that can then be edited, and can build a Registry Policy file from an LGPO text file. + +Documentation for the LGPO tool can be found on the [Microsoft Security Guidance blog](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2016/01/21/lgpo-exe-local-group-policy-object-utility-v1-0/) or by [downloading the tool](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55319). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/windows-security-baselines.md b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/windows-security-baselines.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..af866029c2 --- /dev/null +++ b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-configuration-framework/windows-security-baselines.md @@ -0,0 +1,79 @@ +--- +title: Windows security baselines +description: This article, and the articles it links to, describe how to use Windows security baselines in your organization +keywords: virtualization, security, malware +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: deploy +ms.localizationpriority: medium +ms.author: sagaudre +author: justinha +manager: dansimp +audience: ITPro +ms.collection: M365-security-compliance +ms.topic: conceptual +ms.date: 06/25/2018 +--- + +# Windows security baselines + +**Applies to** + +- Windows 10 +- Windows Server 2016 +- Office 2016 + +## Using security baselines in your organization + +Microsoft is dedicated to providing its customers with secure operating systems, such as Windows 10 and Windows Server, and secure apps, such as Microsoft Edge. In addition to the security assurance of its products, Microsoft also enables you to have fine control over your environments by providing various configuration capabilities. + +Even though Windows and Windows Server are designed to be secure out-of-the-box, many organizations still want more granular control over their security configurations. To navigate the large number of controls, organizations need guidance on configuring various security features. Microsoft provides this guidance in the form of security baselines. + +We recommend that you implement an industry-standard configuration that is broadly known and well-tested, such as Microsoft security baselines, as opposed to creating a baseline yourself. This helps increase flexibility and reduce costs. + +Here is a good blog about [Sticking with Well-Known and Proven Solutions](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/fdcc/2010/10/06/sticking-with-well-known-and-proven-solutions/). + +## What are security baselines? + +Every organization faces security threats. However, the types of security threats that are of most concern to one organization can be completely different from another organization. For example, an e-commerce company may focus on protecting its Internet-facing web apps, while a hospital may focus on protecting confidential patient information. The one thing that all organizations have in common is a need to keep their apps and devices secure. These devices must be compliant with the security standards (or security baselines) defined by the organization. + +A security baseline is a group of Microsoft-recommended configuration settings that explains their security impact. These settings are based on feedback from Microsoft security engineering teams, product groups, partners, and customers. + +## Why are security baselines needed? + +Security baselines are an essential benefit to customers because they bring together expert knowledge from Microsoft, partners, and customers. + +For example, there are over 3,000 Group Policy settings for Windows 10, which does not include over 1,800 Internet Explorer 11 settings. Of these 4,800 settings, only some are security-related. Although Microsoft provides extensive guidance on different security features, exploring each one can take a long time. You would have to determine the security impact of each setting on your own. Then, you would still need to determine the appropriate value for each setting. + +In modern organizations, the security threat landscape is constantly evolving, and IT pros and policy-makers must keep up with security threats and make required changes to Windows security settings to help mitigate these threats. To enable faster deployments and make managing Windows easier, Microsoft provides customers with security baselines that are available in consumable formats, such as Group Policy Objects backups. + +## How can you use security baselines? + +You can use security baselines to: +- Ensure that user and device configuration settings are compliant with the baseline. +- Set configuration settings.

With thousands of group policies available in Windows, choosing the “best” setting is difficult. +It’s not always obvious which permutations of policies are required to implement a complete scenario, and there are often unintended consequences of some security lockdowns. + +Because of this, with each release of Windows, Microsoft publishes [Windows security baselines](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-baselines), an industry-standard configuration that is broadly known and well-tested. +However, many organizations have discovered that this baseline sets a very high bar. +While appropriate for organizations with very high security needs such as those persistently targeted by Advanced Persistent Threats, some organizations have found that the cost of navigating the potential compatibility impact of this configuration is prohibitively expensive given their risk appetite. +They can’t justify the investment in that very high level of security with an ROI. + +As such, Microsoft is introducing a new taxonomy for security configurations for Windows 10. +This new security configuration framework, which we call the SECCON framework (remember "WarGames"?), organizes devices into one of 5 distinct security configurations. + + + +- [Level 5 Enterprise Security](level-5-enterprise-security.md) – We recommend this configuration as the minimum security configuration for an enterprise device. Recommendations for this level are generally straightforward and are designed to be deployable within 30 days. +- [Level 4 Enterprise High Security](level-4-enterprise-high-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for devices where users access sensitive or confidential information. Some of the controls may have an impact to app compat, and therefore will often go through an audit-configure-enforce workflow. Recommendations for this level are generally accessible to most organizations and are designed to be deployable within 90 days. +- [Level 3 Enterprise VIP Security](level-3-enterprise-vip-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for devices run by an organization with a larger or more sophisticated security team, or for specific users or groups who are at uniquely high risk (as one example, one organization identified users who handle data whose theft would directly and seriously impact their stock price). An organization likely to be targeted by well-funded and sophisticated adversaries should aspire to this configuration. Recommendations for this level can be complex (for example, removing local admin rights for some organizations can be a long project in and of itself) and can often go beyond 90 days. +- [Level 2 DevOps Workstation](level-2-enterprise-devops-security.md) – We recommend this configuration for developers and testers, who are an attractive target both for supply chain attacks and access to servers and systems containing high value data or where critical business functions could be disrupted. Level 2 guidance is coming soon! +- [Level 1 Administrator Workstation](level-1-enterprise-administrator-security.md) – Administrators (particularly of identity or security systems) present the highest risk to the organization, through data theft, data alteration, or service disruption.
