Protecting applications and content
To protect the applications and content on the host:
-
Enable Windows Firewall, and configure it to close all ports that are not used by the ICS software. For more information about port usage, see Managing Network Services and Ports.
-
Disable Windows features like remote desktop and file sharing, and remove unnecessary programs like games and social media.
-
Restrict access to the files, databases, registry and other resources on the host.
-
Use Windows BitLocker to encrypt the hard drive of computers that are either mobile or not located in a secure facility. However, BitLocker may impact the performance of computers.
-
Consider using server-class storage (SANs) infrastructure to avoid storing sensitive data on mobile devices.
