Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. Windows-related services, tools, and patterns are often mentioned before their Linux equivalents, and some sections provide more detail or examples for Windows. Windows-specific tools (such as Group Policy, Windows Firewall, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool) are referenced without direct Linux counterparts, and some links default to Windows or PowerShell tabs. Linux guidance is present but less detailed or is sometimes referenced after Windows. There are few explicit Linux command examples, and some recommendations (e.g., Defender XDR blocking on Windows) are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented in parallel, with equal detail and prominence.
  • Provide Linux-specific command-line examples (e.g., for configuring SSH, firewall, SELinux) alongside Windows Group Policy or PowerShell instructions.
  • Reference Linux-native security tools (e.g., iptables, firewalld, auditd, SELinux, AppArmor) where Windows tools are mentioned.
  • Include links to Linux-specific documentation or guides whenever Windows resources are cited.
  • Clarify where features or recommendations differ between platforms (e.g., Defender XDR blocking capabilities, patching workflows).
  • Avoid defaulting to Windows or PowerShell tabs in code or configuration examples; offer Bash/Azure CLI and Linux-native alternatives.
  • Balance the depth of OS-level hardening guidance between Windows and Linux sections.
