Windows Vista introduces changes to Windows' core security functionality. This webcast shows how Windows Vista runs applications under User Account Protection (or UAP, formerly known as "Least-privileged User Account", or "LUA") for reduced risk to the application and the system. This webcast, first in the series of Windows Vista User Account Protection, describes the architecture for launching privileged applications and what the application needs to do to take advantage of this added functionality. The viewer will discover new extensions to the security architecture using integrity levels to protect processes and files from untrusted code.
