METHOD OF COMPARING SECURITY STATUS OF WINDOWS FAMILY OPERATING SYSTEMS

摘要

FIELD: physics; computer engineering.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to management of security of Windows family operating systems (including Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, Enterprise and Business 32-x and 64-x versions of any localisation), and specifically to comparison of configuration characteristics of operating systems from the view point of assessing their security. The result is achieved owing to possibility of comparing configuration parametres, monitoring the behaviour of changes in status and detection from a given "standard" status in Windows family operating systems after proposal of a procedure for comparing security status and switching to the analysed complete set of configuration parameters of security of user layer resources.;EFFECT: increased efficiency of assessing system security.;3 cl, 1 dwg
