The architecture behind user management, resource management, operating system updates, and web browsing is completely new. In this chapter, we’ll review each of these areas, focusing on how to configure various security settings, and we’ll review all of the new processes and applications. You will also learn how to keep computers in top shape by applying the latest security and software updates using Windows Update with a new look for Windows Vista. Finally, we will describe how EFS and BitLocker can help you fur- ther lock down your system’s files. Understanding Windows Security Center Security Center is the hub for all the security utilities and settings inside Windows Vista. This applet, found in Control Panel, provides the user with the status on the current state of security in Windows Vista and, where needed, allows the user to make changes to settings. The goal is to provide a single view of vulnerabilities that may exist and allow these vulnerabilities to be remedied. The goal in Security Center is to have everything be green. This indicates that your system is reasonably well protected against security threats. You will find Security Center in Control Panel under Security. In the classic view, it is in the root of Control Panel. Launch- ing it opens the window shown in Figure 5.1. As you can see, Security Center is broken down into four major sections covering each of the security areas in Windows Vista. Next, we will take a closer look at each of these sections and what options are available in each. Firewall This section provides status on whether there is a firewall running on the machine. The firewall can be the Windows Firewall program, which we’ll talk about in more detail in Chapter 6, or a third-party firewall program such as Norton Internet Security. As you can see in Figure 5.2, the firewall status is green and it states the firewall is on. If you read the text, however, you will see that Norton Internet Security is reporting a firewall that is on. On this system Windows Firewall is actually off, but since a third-party firewall software is running, Security Center is happy and the firewall status is green. 65348c05.fm Page 248 Monday, October 22, 2007 9:45 PM Understanding Windows Security Center 249 FIGURE 5.1 Windows Security Center FIGURE 5.2 Security Center Firewall status 65348c05.fm Page 249 Monday, October 22, 2007 9:45 PM 250 Chapter 5  Configuring Windows Vista Security If Security Center detects a problem with the firewall, the status will change to red and off. Expanding the Firewall section will provide more detail, as shown in Figure 5.3. In this case, neither Windows Firewall nor the Norton Internet Security firewall is running on the local sys- tem. When this is the case, you can click the Turn On button to remedy the situation. Security Center will prompt you, as shown in Figure 5.4, if different options are available to fix the problem. FIGURE 5.3 Security Center with red firewall status FIGURE 5.4 The Security Center prompt to fix a firewall problem 65348c05.fm Page 250 Monday, October 22, 2007 9:45 PM Understanding Windows Security Center 251 When Security Center prompts you to select an option, you will notice that you have the option I Have a Firewall Program That I’ll Monitor Myself. If you choose this option, Security Center will stop prompting you when there is a firewall problem and you will be on your own to make sure the firewall is up and running. You will select this option if the firewall program you are running is not built to communicate with Security Center. This allows you to stop Security Center from bugging you about not having a firewall when you actually do. Last but not least, on the left side of Security Center, you have an access to Windows Fire- wall, as shown in Figure 5.5. Clicking this will launch the Windows Firewall program and allow you to make changes. Keep in mind that this will only open Windows Firewall—you are on your own if you are using a third-party firewall utility. FIGURE 5.5 Security Center provides access to Windows Firewall settings. Automatic Updating The Automatic Updating section of Security Center provides status on Windows Update. As you can see in Figure 5.6, this system is configured to download and install updates as they become available. Automatic Updates, the recommended setting, provides a green status for Automatic Updating. Depending on how Windows Update is configured, you may see a yellow or even a red sta- tus in Security Center. Changing Windows Update to do anything less than install updates automatically will cause the status in Security Center to change from green in order to indi- cate a possible problem. In Figure 5.7, Windows Update has been set to download updates but not install them automatically, and in Figure 5.8, Windows Update has been disabled altogether. 65348c05.fm Page 251 Monday, October 22, 2007 9:45 PM [...]...
