[Cialug] Windows Security

[Josh More]

OS and Application imaging is pretty much what is sounds like.  It
allows you form an image of the OS and an image package of each
application.  You then deploy the images to the target system, and you
can be sure that every system you build is identical.  From a security
perspective, this reduces the possible apps that you have to worry about
while also allowing for rapid deployement of patches when problems are
discovered (as happened recently with the MS ATL issue).

Sophos and Novell ZenWorks Advanced allow you to prevent wireless
bridging.  There are others, but those are the two that I use.

What's OS and application imaging, in the context of security?

How do you do this?

Clever.
