Office 2008 Security
Planning for security in Office 2008
Understanding security threats
To establish a secure computing environment, you must make sure that your applications and data are not vulnerable to malicious attacks. By using the security options in Office 2008, you can establish a security-enhanced environment by limiting the possible avenues of attack. This guide presents many different methods to mitigate security threats that will help you limit direct attacks on data from external and internal sources. An important part of implementing these methods is training users about how to protect themselves and the company from attack. This training usually builds user awareness of security issues, and establishes ownership of the data that users want to protect. For example, you can educate your users to distinguish between low-risk files and high-risk files. Low risk files can be internal documents that may not contain malicious content, such as documents from colleagues or business partners. High-risk documents are documents from unknown people or documents that pass through an unsecured Internet connection. It is important that users evaluate risks and mitigate potential security threats. Users shouldn't treat both types of files the same way.
