Checklist Summary:
Desktop Application Security Checklist - Symantec Virus Software has been created to assist IT professionals, in particular system administrators and information security personnel, in effectively securing Windows XP Symantec Virus Scan installations. The procedures in this document are part of the effort to ensure that the security configuration guidelines required by Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 8500.1, Information Assurance, and other relevant guidance have been properly implemented.
Checklist Role:
- Antivirus Software
Known Issues:
- The user account from which Desktop Application Gold Disk is run must have Administrator privileges and have the User Right: Manage Auditing and Security Log. - Only the configuration checks that are included in the Desktop Application Gold Disk (Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office) will be evaluated as part of the formal review process. The IAVMs and security patches included on the Desktop Gold Disk are not evaluated as part of the Desktop Application review because they are already covered in either the appropriate Windows Operating System Gold Disk or the appropriate Post Gold Disk Scripts. These will remain in the Desktop Application Gold Disk for the SAs use.
