Also, disabling execution of data pages will limit the potential for buffer-overflow exploits. This will reduce the risk of an end user enabling a virus or worm by launching an executable.

Service Pack 2 features an attachment execution service that will have a central place for attachments to be accessed by Outlook/Exchange, Windows Messenger, and Internet Explorer. For example, a number of Microsoft security exploits in 2003 were the result of an email attachment launching as an executable (e.g., MyDoom). What is most outstanding is Microsoft’s focus on enhancing security through improved usability. However, the challenge is to enable to security without a tradeoff in key functionality or flexibility. In many cases, turning off features is good since it makes a system more secure. For example, the Alterer and Messenger service has been turned off to reduce the amount of spam received.

This service pack enhances Windows security by turning off some services by default and will also provide new patch management tools. Microsoft will make advances in Windows security within the next few months when it releases Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Microsoft has shown a great willingness - no doubt spurred on by industry cynicism and the growing adoption of Linux - to dedicate massive resources to Windows security. Users may have their favorite but at the same time continue to assess the competition. This matters because the ability to make either operating system more secure varies depending on architectural design.įundamental changes in Linux and Windows securityįor users, the evolution of Linux and Windows has all the trappings of a muscle car drag race. Linux differs from Windows in providing a clear separation between kernel space and user space.
The Windows operating system is designed to support applications by moving more functionality into the operating system, and by more deeply integrating applications into the Windows kernel. Users need to keep in mind that there are philosophical differences in the design of Linux and Windows. This study evaluates operating system security according to the current technology available in the market rather than legacy solutions. Linux distributions vary by the Linux kernel release each is based on (e.g., 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6) and the versions of all the packages each contains. Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, and Windows CE are just a subset of Microsoft’s offerings. The challenge in evaluating Windows and Linux on any criteria is that there is not a single version of each operating system. The overall findings of this qualitative assessment are that Linux provides superior to comparable security capabilities in comparison to Windows, except in the category of assurance - for now. In this study, we compare Microsoft Windows and Linux security across these seven categories.
Managers need a framework to evaluate operating system security that includes an assessment of base security, network security and protocols, application security, deployment and operations, assurance, trusted computing, and open standards.
Security is a perennial concern for IT administrators.
