Setting up Security and Monitoring for Applications
Setting up Security and Monitoring for Applications
You have managed application updates using various tools to ensure that the applications distributed across the network computers are up-to-date and secured. In an enterprise network, it is crucial to protect the applications and other critical data from malicious access by unauthorized users. Various security features provided by Windows Server 2012 helps you to protect applications and other critical data from unauthorized access. Familiarizing yourself with securing and monitoring applications will enable you to deal with the security threats in production environments. In this lesson, set up security and monitor for applications.
In this lesson you will:
• Set up security policies and restrictions.
• Secure applications from external threats.
• Set up monitoring for applications.
Topic A: Set Up Security Policies and Restrictions
While managing applications in distributed environments, you need to secure the network applications from unauthorized access by applying the security policies and restriction levels. Applying security policies and restriction for the applications will enable you to control access to the applications and prevent data from being modified by unauthorized users. In this topic, you will set up security policies and restrictions.
• Set up security policies and restrictions.
SRP
Software restriction policies (SRP) are a Group Policy-based feature used to identify software programs running on domain computers and to control the ability of those programs to run. By using SRPs, you can protect the network computers running Windows OS version from Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional against known conflicts and protect the computers against security threats. SRPs allow you to identify and specify which applications are permitted to run on client computers. SRP settings are configured and deployed to clients by using Group Policy.
