<div><p>This topic describes security risks to workstations and provides

recommendations for reducing these risks.</p>
|

|
|
<p>A Web page that your user visits might have an associated <span class="q">"program,"</span> such
|
||
|
|
as a Java™ applet,
|
||
|
|
an Active-X control, or some other type of plug-in. This type of <span class="q">"program"</span> when
|
||
|
|
run on a PC has the potential to damage the information on the PC. As a security
|
||
|
|
administrator, consider the following for protecting PCs in your organization:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Understand the security options of the different browsers that your users
|
||
|
|
have. For example, to prevent Java applets from damaging PC data, you
|
||
|
|
can control the access that Java applets have outside the browser.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Make recommendations to your users about their browser settings. You must
|
||
|
|
educate users about the potential risks of improper settings.</li>
