Windows Server Security Zone Policy

Internet security zones are a means of classifying internet and intranet destinations based on the security risk they pose. They are set either on the desktop level in Internet Explorer or on the server level.

  1. Server

    • In a Windows server environment sites are classified in four areas, including trusted sites, which are classified as low-to-medium risk depending on the server; intranet sites, which are classified as medium-to-low risk; internet sites, which are classified as medium-to-high risk, and restricted sites, which are classified as high risk.

    Policy

    • The categories listed are the default settings for a Windows server. The "Security Zone Policy" generally is set by a company, or the company's IT or IT security department. The settings on a particular server may be modified to meet these policies.

    Internet Explorrer

    • Internet Explorer also has built in security zone settings. The default settings largely correspond to the server settings. In a workplace setting, IT or network administrators may modify these default settings on desktop workstations.
