Security Migration

Security is a migration issue because earlier versions of Office did not implement code signing, and many businesses did not even use code signing in Office 2000. Due to the obvious increase in threats, such as macro viruses, leveraging the Office 2003 Editions security features is paramount. Doing so means that you must plan for deploying trusted sources along with Office 2003 Editions, enforcing high security through policies, and preventing users from adding to the list of trusted sources. The ultimate resource for securing Office 2003 Editions is the "Security" chapter in the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit.
