B.1 Browser Security Policy — Windows
The Browser security policy tests verify that any endpoint attempting to connect to your system
meets your specified security requirements. Browser vulnerabilities are related to cookies, caches,
and scripts (JavaScript, Java, and Active scripting / ActiveX). You can specify generally what level
of security to enforce (High, Medium, Medium-low, or Low) or you can specify exactly what feature
to allow or disallow. Installing the most recent version of your browser also helps protect your
system against exploits targeting the latest vulnerabilities.
