Checklist Role:
- Web Browser
Known Issues:
Not provided.
Target Audience:
The requirements and recommendations set forth in this document will assist IAOs and Information Assurance Managers (IAMs) in protecting web browser applications in DoD locations hereafter referred to as sites. The responsible Configuration Control Board (CCB) will approve revisions to site systems that could have a security impact. Therefore, before implementing web browser application security measures, the IAO will submit a change notice to the CCB for review and approval. Although there are a few different operating system platforms for desktop environments, this document addresses IE 9 running on Microsoft Windows 7 platforms only. This document does not include specific guidance for UNIX, Linux, or Apple desktop environments at this time. Although not directly outlined, the intent of these security requirements detailed in this document also apply to IE 9 web browser applications installed on Microsoft Windows Server platforms, as well as Microsoft Windows Workstation platforms. On server platforms, the security configuration parameters will be set to at least as restrictive values as those listed in this document.

For some environments, failure to test before implementation may lead to a loss of required functionality.
