The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has come to you to improve the security of the company. As a small-to-medium-size company, you've been chosen to not only lead the OS security process, but to actually conduct the work.

The CISO is concerned about the amount of variation between each device. He doesn't believe that the team can effectively secure every device when each system has different applications and different versions of those applications. He would like you to evaluate creating a single image that will work for the entire company.

Need to answer questions specifically to how it relates to the information in this document.

1. Will a single baseline work for the entire company? Why or why not?

2. What applications will be included in the baseline? If you chose to develop several baselines, what applications will be in each baseline?

3. What other security measures will you put in place on the baseline? Are there any other tasks when creating the baseline?

4. What cost saving measures could be used if the company was to move to virtualized client computers (using Zero Clients at desks)?

5. What is the most efficient way of deploying your baseline(s) to the 150 client computers they currently have?

6. Will any policies, procedures, or practices be required to be updated (or created) to support this?
