Office 2008 Security

Caution

There are no administrative settings that allow you to enforce security preferences that you specify. Even if you set and deploy security preferences, users can change these preferences at a later time. Therefore, if you are deploying security settings as part of your organization's policy, you must educate your users about the risks associated with changing default settings. Without proper training, users can expose an organization to unauthorized or malicious use of its data. Establishing a corporate policy for how files are distributed and handled helps mitigate security vulnerabilities caused by untrained users.

Before you plan and implement a security-enhanced environment, it is important to understand the different types of security threats. The following sections of this topic list potential security threats in today’s computing environment. The rest of the Security chapter addresses how to plan for a secure computing environment and how you can configure the security options in Office 2008 to help address security concerns.

Privacy threats

Many documents contain metadata that should be protected, including text marked as "hidden", author name, and changes tracked by Office 2008 revision tracking tools. This metadata is useful because it enables users track document property data. However, in some cases users might not want to expose the metadata when the document is distributed. By exposing the metadata, users become vulnerable to privacy threats. Privacy threats include any threat agent that discloses or reveals personal or private information without the user’s consent or knowledge. Word 2008, Excel 2008, and PowerPoint 2008 allow users to strip out sensitive metadata when the file is saved. With Entourage 2008, you can use Internet-standard S/MIME security extensions; S/MIME allows users to digitally sign and encrypt e-mail messages and attachments to help protect them against tampering or eavesdropping.
