Examining File-Level Security
Files secured on Windows Server 2012 are only as secure as the permissions that are set on them. Subsequently, it is good to know that Windows Server 2012 does not grant the Everyone group full control over share-level and NTFS-level permissions. In addition, critical operating system files and directories are secured to disallow their unauthorized use.
Despite the overall improvements made, a complete understanding of file-level security is recommended to ensure that the file-level security of a server is not neglected, especially for those servers hosting the file server role.
