Summary
In this Short Cut I have shown you Vista's most prominent security features. I hope that you have learned a few important points about Vista security, including:
The facets of data security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA).
Vista doesn't do all of the security automatically for you.
It is up to you to know what security measures you need to take, given your unique computing and business requirements.
You are primarily responsible for the CIA of your data.
Security is a moving target. Data thieves and other threats are constantly changing their tactics, which requires us to continually change ours.
Ignorance is not bliss. Often, it leads to a compromise of your data.
Security using Vista is still complicated, although a little easier than in earlier versions of Windows.
