Getting Started with Windows Server Security

Summary

We started this chapter with baseline security for your server platform, which was originally created using Microsoft SCW. In this chapter, you learned how to incorporate this policy with the baseline and best practice recommendations using Microsoft SCM. Then you used AppLocker to enforce more application-based security. We also learned how to monitor the state of the server and compare it with the baseline to identify the security vulnerabilities and issues using Microsoft ASA. We will continue this journey in the next chapter in the same phase and provide more security options for your server infrastructure.
