Army cracks down on desktop software

By Jeff Caruso on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 12:32pm.

The U.S. Army has put software on about 11,000 desktop machines to guard against unauthorized software installations.

If unauthorized software is installed, it can be easily removed remotely.

The federal government in general appears to be tightening up security. In recent months we heard about federal agencies implementing DNSSEC, and reducing the number of network connections they use.
