About This Solution Accelerator

The Internet Explorer 10 Security Baseline is available with the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager 3.0 tool, which is designed to provide you with an end-to-end solution to help you plan, deploy, and monitor the security baselines of computers running Internet Explorer 10 in your environment. This security baseline package, which includes the Internet Explorer 10 Security Guide, is available in SCM 3.0.

What is a security baseline?

A security baseline is a collection of configurations items for a Microsoft product that provides prescribed values to solve a specific use case or scenario. Windows Internet Explorer security baselines provide guidance and supporting technical data required to implement an effective and efficient security infrastructure, enabling you to:

  • Understand threats.
  • Implement countermeasures.
  • Learn about product-specific recommendations.

This knowledge is accessed in SCM 3.0, which gives you the ability to customize a security baseline to meet the unique requirements of your organization. The tool exports security baselines in multiple formats to help you apply the configuration and confirm the compliance level of the computers running Internet Explorer in your organization.

Internet Explorer security baselines include the following elements:

  • A detailed view of security vulnerabilities specific to Internet Explorer, and the potential impact of configuring significant settings in these areas, to help you better understand how to effectively mitigate threats to your environment.
  • Recommended countermeasures to address such vulnerabilities, as well as the technical data required to implement and assess the state of each countermeasure that you implement.
  • A product-specific security guide that provides detailed instructions and recommendations to help strengthen the security of the computers running Internet Explorer in your organization.

About the Security Compliance Manager

Microsoft Security Compliance Manager is the next evolution of this powerful tool. We’ve taken our extensive security guidance and documentation — including the previously stand-alone product-specific security guides —and incorporated it into this new tool, enabling you to access and automate all of your organization’s security baselines in one centralized location.

Take advantage of the experience of Microsoft security professionals, and reduce the time and money required to harden your environment. This end-to-end Solution Accelerator will help you plan, deploy, operate, and manage your security baselines for Windows client and server operating systems, and Microsoft applications.

Access the complete database of Microsoft recommended security settings, customize your baselines, and then choose from multiple formats—including XLS, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), Desired Configuration Management (DCM) configuration packs, or Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)—to export the baselines to your environment to automate the security baseline deployment and compliance verification process. Use SCM 2 to achieve a secure, reliable, and centralized IT environment that will help you better balance your organization’s needs for security and functionality.
