Lockdown Software
What is lockdown software? Lockdown software is intended to restrict access to sensitive Windows functions and to prevent public user tampering of PC systems. There are many popular Lockdown Software packages available and they’re often deployed on public access machines to make the IT administrator’s job easier. Reasonably enough, the IT manager would like to avoid the constant hassle of having to rely on traditional back-up methods to reset these machines: reimagining or reinstalling Windows from scratch.
The Pros and Cons of Lockdown Software
Lockdown software certainly does prevent malicious, unauthorized, and even inadvertent system changes, such as software installations, virus infections, and other public user mischief. But lockdown software also limits the usefulness of these multi-user workstations by disabling many Windows functions that would enhance the public users’ experience. Lockdown software is usually a simple tool for IT management and avoids the need for more extensive disaster prevention and recovery options such as anti-virus software, usage monitoring tools, firewall management, and security software. If the users can’t mess up the machines then the need to fix them just can’t arise, right?
But one large downside of locking-down the computers is that some users may need permissions to perform basic tasks such as adding a printer or to allow them to unblock some app from the firewall or even to permit them to save a file to the desktop. The network manager may find herself micromanaging user privileges. There may also be instances in which the public users may need to configure Windows functions.
