As part of a change in our development strategy for security guidance, the National Security Agency is no longer maintaining and updating security guides for Windows XP Professional beyond what was produced as a cooperative effort between the vendor and the security community. The "Specialized Security - Limited Functionality" (SSLF) security settings in Microsoft's "Windows XP Security Guide" track closely with the security level historically represented in the NSA guidelines. It is our belief that this guide establishes the latest best practices for securing the product and recommend that traditional customers of our security recommendations use the Microsoft guide when securing Windows XP.
