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.

Cookies are text files created by Web sites and stored on your
computer. They contain user-specific information—
information about what Web pages you visited, information
you filled out in online forms, and your preferences for a
particular Web site. Cookies are good when they enhance your
Web experience (online shopping carts work because of
cookies) and can be bad if unencrypted information is stored
in them, which could be misused if an attacker gains access
to them.
