  WS2008: Windows Service Hardening
Time: 13:31 EST/18:31 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Day Three of our series of posts in preparation for the Windows Server 2008 Launch and the countdown continues. If it's a weekend for you, I hope you are enjoying yourself. Only twenty-four more days to go till Launch Day. Today's post - Windows Service Hardening.

Windows Service Hardening restricts critical Windows services from doing abnormal activities in the file system, registry, network or other areas that could be exploited by malware. From the perspective of "always-on" code on the operating system, Windows services represent a large percentage of the overall attack surface on the system, especially if you consider the privilege level of that code. Windows Server 2008 limits the number of services that are running and operational by default. Windows Service Hardening reduces the damage potential of a compromised service by introducing several changes to Windows Services on both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
