| Abstract | The user and her desktop are widely held to be one of the weaker links in the security chain. By letting the user secure their own workstation by following a set of steps put forth in a checklist it could be possible to cover both problems at the same time. An already existing checklist was revised to become more concise. Twelve users took this checklist concerning the security posture of them and their workstations. It turned out that the majority of users largely used the default settings provided by the operating system. This is also an obvious trend at Microsoft, to make the default settings secure. It is reasonable to believe that this will be even truer in Windows Vista. Checklists are especially good as inspiration for interested users seeking to increase their knowledge on the subject. |
