The Internet Explorer (IE) 8 Overview, along with the IE 8 and Windows Desktop Application Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), provides the technical security policies, requirements, and implementation details for applying security concepts to Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) applications.
Not provided.
The requirements and recommendations set forth in this document will assist IAOs and Information Assurance Managers (IAMs) in protecting desktop applications in DoD locations hereafter referred to as sites. The responsible Configuration Control Board (CCB) will approve revisions to site systems that could have a security impact. Therefore, before implementing desktop application security measures, the IAO will submit a change notice to the CCB for review and approval.
Although there are a few different operating system platforms for desktop environments, this document addresses applications running on Microsoft Windows platforms. This document does not include specific guidance for UNIX, Linux, or Apple desktop environments at this time.
The security requirements detailed in this document apply to applications installed on Microsoft Windows Server platforms as well as Microsoft Windows Workstation platforms. On server platforms, the security configuration parameters will be set to at least as restrictive values as those listed in this document.

It must be noted that the guidelines specified should be evaluated in a local, representative test environment before implementation within large user populations. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these guidelines for all potential software configurations. For some environments, failure to test before implementation may lead to a loss of required functionality.
