Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 Threat Mitigation Guide released

At long last, Microsoft’s released a document that describes what you can do to mitigate threats to your network from Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 machines: the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 Threat Mitigation Guide.

Of course, the best way to mitigate the threats posed by these versions of Windows is to upgrade them to Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, but that’s not always feasible. The guide (downloadable here) describes some of the other things you can do, including network segmentation, appropriate use of NTLMv2, and patch management. Check it out.
