We get a lot of questions about PowerShell Security Best Practices, and we got the chance to present an overview of them at this year’s (Microsoft internal) BlueHat conference. This was a 20-minute presentation, and focused on two parts:

• PowerShell Operational Security – How to use PowerShell securely in an ops / cloud environment
• PowerShell Scripting Security – How to write PowerShell scripts if they may be subject to untrusted input

The video was recorded, and is available here: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Blue-Hat-Security-Briefings/BlueHat-Security-Briefings-Fall-2013-Sessions/PowerShell-Best-Practices.

Below is a link to the presentation deck, with very detailed speaker notes:
