InfoWorld | at | by Mike
A group of private sector organizations and government agencies will release Wednesday a new benchmark testing tool designed to let users and administrators more easily configure security settings on their Microsoft Windows 2000 systems.
The benchmark, which has been agreed upon by the Center for Internet Security, the SANS Institute, the U.S. General Services Administration, the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, the U.S. National Security Agency and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is designed to give companies and users a clear standard for achieving a baseline level of security in their Windows 2000 systems, said Clint Kreitner, president and chief executive officer of Center for Internet Security, located in Bethesda, Maryland.
