Windows 10: BSI provides security settings
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 8:20 am
The majority of successful attacks on IT systems with Microsoft Windows 10 can already be detected or prevented using the tools available in the operating system. To facilitate the necessary configuration of the operating system, the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has published recommendations for action to secure Windows systems in German and English as part of the "Study on system structure, logging, hardening and security functions in Windows 10" (SiSyPHuS Win10). One focus during the creation was on simple implementation and practical application. The BSI therefore makes the recommended configuration settings available for download as group policy objects (GPO) that can be imported directly into Windows - a service that is fast and secure.
"As the federal cyber security authority, it is the BSI's job to always think about thailand gambling data digitization and information security together. We support users in government, business and society in using IT products and software securely. More than a third of computer users worldwide use Windows 10, and the trend is rising. We are therefore putting the operating system through its paces and deriving concrete recommendations from it with which we can make digitization more secure," explains Arne Schönbohm, President of the BSI.
This publication is part of a comprehensive security analysis in which the BSI examines security-critical functions of the operating system. The aim is to be able to evaluate the security and residual risks for using Windows 10, to identify framework conditions for secure use of the operating system and to create practical recommendations for hardening and secure use of Windows 10.
The recommendations from SiSyPHuS Win10 are primarily aimed at federal and state authorities and companies . However, technically savvy citizens can also implement the recommendations, depending on the version of Windows 10 used.
