Advisory FAQ
What is the scope of the advisory?
The purpose of this advisory is to notify customers that a defense-in-depth update is available that improves the enforcement of publisher rules by AppLocker in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2. The improvement is part of ongoing efforts to bolster the effectiveness of AppLocker controls in Windows.
What is defense-in-depth?
In information security, defense-in-depth refers to an approach in which multiple layers of defense are in place to help prevent attackers from compromising the security of a network or system.
What is AppLocker?
AppLocker advances the features and functionality of Software Restriction Policies. AppLocker contains new capabilities and extensions that allow you to create rules to allow or deny applications from running based on unique identities of files and to specify which users or groups can run those applications.
What does the update do?
The update corrects how AppLocker handles certificates to prevent bypassing publisher rules.
