Title: Module 3 - Local Hardware and Virtualization
Course: CTS 2306 Windows Professional > Section: Module 3 - Local Hardware and Virtualization

Introduction

Hardware devices allow administrators to configure access using permissions and group policies that can be distributed per machine across the network. However, resources that are available to users on the network can also be exploited by non-authorized users and they must be protected against attack. This is especially problematic in browsers and network attached storage devices such as hard drives or locally attached removable storage devices. In this module you will configure hardware access using local and group polices as well as create restriction rules to protect against application exploitation.

Objectives

Upon completion of this module, the student will be able to:

- Configure hardware access using group policies
- Configure and secure Internet Explorer 7
