Server, Desktop and Laptop Build Review
It’s common practice for organisations to have a same build for workstations and to roll out these generic images on to every workstation and to some common servers. These generic builds must be approved from a security testing perspective before being accepted as an official build. Very often, such testing is conducted as part of a wider Information Security Assessment which is a strategic piece of work.
A significant danger with this practice is that standard builds may have generic security flaws which could lead to every workstation or server suffer from the same security flaw. 7safe undertakes security testing and penetration testing on the majority of Operating Systems builds.
