Q-CERT highlighted this article by SANS expert and trainer Mike Pilkington on the Power of Powershell Remoting. If you manage Windows computers and want to be secure it is well worth the read.
It's no surprise the PI System Security Audit Framework uses this approach and Mike's article does a good job of explaining why you should consider Powershell for all administrative tasks.
This was my favorite quote:
"Let me put it this way: If you allow administrators to remote desktop into Windows hosts in your environment, then you should allow, and even encourage, PowerShell Remoting as an alternative since it does a better job of protecting domain credentials by avoiding interactive logons and delegation tokens. This goes for administrators and responders alike."
Using Powershell with our audit framework is part of the PI System Security Workshop on September 19th at the EMEA UC in Paris. We hope to see you there!
