How The NSA Secures Computers

An Anonymous Reader wrote to mention an NSA site covering secure configuration guidelines for a number of operating systems. From the site: "NSA initiatives in enhancing software security cover both proprietary and open source software, and we have successfully used both proprietary and open source models in our research activities. NSA's work to enhance the security of software is motivated by one simple consideration: use our resources as efficiently as possible to give NSA's customers the best possible security options in the most widely employed products."

The site is Slashdotted.
