Palladium - Windows Server 2008's Security System
Palladium - Windows Server 2008's Security System
In a nutshell, Palladium combines hardware and software for better security. Palladium is actually a code name for Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB). The idea is a secure run-time environment for Windows allows software applications and services to protect the end user from privacy invasion, outside hacking, and spam.
Palladium requires special hardware security chips and microprocessors. While Palladium-based PCs will still operate normally, with legacy operating systems new Palladium applications and services will offer the new security features.
If you're familiar with the .NET model, Palladium will institute a similar model for PC software, where a trusted mode is used for Palladium applications and services, while "un-trusted" mode is used for legacy code.
Microsoft designed Palladium with the following goals:
- Palladium will identify who you are dealing with online, and tell you what they're doing. It can limit what arrives, and control what runs on your machine. Any information that comes in from the Internet will be verified before you access it, thus preventing damage.
- Encryption protects information using encryption so that hackers go elsewhere. The system can maintain document integrity so that documents can't be altered without your knowledge.
- Palladium controls information that you send out from your computer. Using Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology, Palladium can securely distribute music, movies over the Internet. The recording industry could use this technology to let their customers exercise their fair use rights to copy audio CDs and movies, for example.
Guy Recommends: The Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) 9.5
Orion's performance monitor is designed for detecting network outages. This NPM will guide you through troubleshooting by indicating whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload. Because it produces network-centric views, it is intuitive to navigate, and as result you can see easily what's working and what's not.
Perhaps Orion's best feature is the way it suggests solutions. Moreover, if problems arise out of the blue, then you can configure Orion NPM 9.5 to notify members of your team what's changed and how to fix it.
If you are interested in testing a professional performance monitor on your network, then I recommend that you take advantage of Solarwinds' offer of a download a free trial of Orion's Network Performance Monitor.
