Top 10 valuable (but underused) Microsoft security technologies

Overview Microsoft offers a number of security mechanisms and tools as part of Windows operating systems or as add-ons, but some of them are just gathering dust. Here are 10 of the most underappreciated Microsoft security technologies.

TCP/IP filtering
Group policy software restriction policies
Internet Authentication Server (IAS)
Encrypting File System
Microsoft Certificate Services
