| Report Summary: |
Windows’ newest technology, the User Account Control (UAC), found in the Vista operating system has been erroneously called an additional level of security by many computer security professionals.
In a self-published consumer report “Security Best Practices for Consumers” Microsoft states, “… important to remember that UAC prompts are not a security boundary – they don’t offer direct protection.”
Instead, in the hope to reduce the incidence of malware, unauthorized software installation, and unintentional system changes the UAC separates standard user tasks from requiring administrator level password access.
Unfortunately, at the enterprise level with hundreds of devices, applications, and shared password accounts, it places all the burden on busy IT administrators. |
