Symantec's Enterprise Security Manager™ (ESM) OS hardening policies are configured by members of the Symantec Security Response team to protect specific operating system platforms from security vulnerabilities that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of data that is stored and transmitted on your computer network. These policies are designed to enforce "common best practices" as
described in the ISO/IEC 17799 international standard, "Information technology - Code of practice for information security management," and defined through research by trusted security experts and clearing houses. These specific policies also benefited from a Symantec and Microsoft collaboration on the Microsoft Security Operations Guide, which is a comprehensive set of security best practices for securing the Windows platform.
