Discuss how Microsoft Windows User Account Control (UAC) provides a higher level of security for users. Research UAC using the Internet. What were its design goals? Were they achieved? How secure is UAC? What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses?
Explain what MS Group policies are, how they can be used, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Lastly, Search the Internet for one instance of a security breach that occurred for each of the four best practices of access control (separation of duties, job rotation, mandatory vacations, and clean desk). Write a short summary of that breach. Then rank these four best practices from most effective to least effective. Give an explanation of your rankings.
Write at least a one page document outlining the findings above for UAC, MS Groups, and the best practices of access control.
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
