Windows 7 Offers Smarter Security for those on the go
Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s new Windows 7 operating system includes technology designed to erect different lines of defences depending
on the type of network connection in place.
For example, Windows 7 will automatically implement “public” firewall settings for a Sales Representative who connects to the Internet through a hotel broadband service. If the Sales Representative then establishes a link to his company’s virtual private network, Windows 7 will implement the suitable corporate “domain” settings, as predetermined by his company’s IT department.
Windows 7 also offers other new security features for mobile workers. It’s a tool called DirectAccess works in conjunction with Windows Server 2008 R2 to automatically maintain a secure connection to corporate intranets.
A new tool called BranchCache, assists branch office workers connect to the head office more easily and securely. A feature called Bit Locker To Go is designed to encrypt data on removable storage devices.
Microsoft hasn’t confirmed a release date for Windows 7.
