Security Features of Windows Vista
User Access Control of Windows Vista is one of the most popular security features of the operating system; however, a number of other features make Vista the best of Microsoft’s operating systems.
Below are other features that makes the security of Vista a class above the rest:
Windows Service Hardening (WSH) allows you to harden the security posture of your host system by limiting the amount of damage an attacker can do if a Windows-based service is compromised.
Network Access Protection (NAP) can help verify that each computer connected to the network is malware-free; if it is not, it will not be allowed to connect to the network and further infect other systems. Until the system checks out as malware-free, it will not be allowed to use the network or its services. .
Internet Explorer 7, comes with Windows Vista by default as the built-in Web browser, includes many security enhancements that protect users from malware attacks such as phishing and spoofing, and it uses a new mode, called Protected Mode, to further secure the user’s browsing experience.
Updated Windows Firewall comes with the new outbound filtering feature for more granular control over traffic traversing it.
Windows Defender utility detects malware on your system.
