Summary

Building and installing information systems and network devices in order to reduce cyber vulnerabilities and attack vectors.

Overview

Computers are often not secure upon default installation. An 'out-of-the-box' set-up can often include an administrative account with a standard, publicly known default password, one or more unnecessary user accounts enabled (sometimes with special access privileges) and pre-installed but unnecessary applications or services. All of these present security risks.
