The FDCC, an OMB (U.S. Office of Management and Budget) mandate, requires that all Federal Agencies standardize the configuration of approximately 300 settings on each of their Windows XP and Vista Computer. The reason for this standardization is to strengthen Federal IT security by reducing opportunities for hackers to access and exploit government computer systems.
