C2 Security Evaluation vs. Certification Setting up a C2-compliant System Abstract Microsoft® Windows NT® operating system provides a rich set of security features. However, the default out-of-the-box configuration is highly relaxed, especially on the Workstation product. This is because the operating system is sold as a shrink-wrapped product with an assumption that an average customer may not want to worry about a highly restrained but secure system on their desktop. This assumption has changed over the years as Windows NT gains popularity largely because of its security features. Microsoft is investigating a better secured default configuration for future releases. In the meantime, this white paper talks about various security issues with respect to configuring all Windows NT version 4.0 OS products for a highly secure computing environment.
