Configure Microsoft Office Macros
Block macros from the internet and allow only vetted macros in trusted locations or those digitally signed with trusted certificates.
User Application Hardening
Harden web browsers and PDF viewers by blocking Flash, ads, and Java. Disable unnecessary plugins and extensions to reduce attack surface.
