Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and Microsoft technologies, with configuration examples and mitigation steps almost exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools (e.g., IIS web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, ASP.NET, WCF). There is a notable absence of Linux or cross-platform equivalents, and Windows solutions are presented as the default or only option. No Linux-specific configuration, tooling, or code samples are provided, even for generic security concepts.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/Unix examples for configuration management tasks (e.g., setting HTTP headers via Apache/Nginx, configuring firewalls with iptables or firewalld).
  • Include references to Linux-native disk encryption tools (e.g., LUKS, dm-crypt) alongside BitLocker.
  • Provide cross-platform code samples for generic web security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) using popular Linux web servers.
  • Mention Linux IoT distributions and their security features (e.g., Ubuntu Core, Yocto, SELinux, AppArmor) when discussing IoT device security.
  • Reference open-source alternatives to Windows-specific technologies (e.g., .NET Core on Linux, alternatives to WCF, Key management using HashiCorp Vault or GnuPG).
  • Ensure that mitigation steps and recommendations are not exclusively tied to Windows environments, and clarify when a solution is platform-specific.
