Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows and Windows Server are mentioned explicitly as examples for encryption in transit (SMB 3.0), while Linux equivalents are not discussed. There is a reference to PowerShell attacks in the context of Defender for Cloud, with no comparable Linux scripting example. Windows tools and protocols (SMB, smartcard authentication, Secure Admin Workstations) are referenced without Linux alternatives or parity. Linux is mentioned only in the context of Defender for Cloud detecting attacks against Linux machines, but not in configuration or operational examples. No Linux-specific tools, patterns, or best practices are provided, and examples or explanations tend to default to Windows technologies.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for encryption in transit, such as NFSv4.2 with Kerberos, or SSH/SFTP for secure file transfers.
- Mention Linux authentication and admin workstation equivalents, such as using SSH keys, Linux bastion hosts, or privileged access management tools for Linux.
- Provide Linux scripting attack detection examples alongside PowerShell (e.g., bash, Python, or Perl attacks).
- Discuss Linux disk encryption options (e.g., dm-crypt, LUKS) in parallel with Azure disk encryption for Windows.
- Reference Linux file sharing protocols (e.g., NFS, Samba) and their security configurations.
- Ensure that best practices and operational guidance are platform-neutral or provide parity between Windows and Linux environments.
