Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns, such as Privileged Access Workstation (PAW), without mentioning Linux equivalents. The examples and recommendations for secure workstations and endpoint protection are focused on Microsoft technologies, with no guidance for Linux environments. There are no Linux-specific examples or alternative open-source tools provided for key management, workstation security, or endpoint protection.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific guidance for secure management workstations, such as recommendations for hardened Linux desktops (e.g., Ubuntu LTS with security hardening, Qubes OS, etc.).
- Mention open-source or cross-platform alternatives for endpoint protection and privileged access, such as SELinux, AppArmor, or sudo policies.
- Provide parity in examples and instructions for key management and encryption, referencing Linux command-line tools (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG) and integration with Azure services from Linux environments.
- Add explicit statements and links to documentation for securing Linux endpoints and managing privileged access on Linux systems.
- Ensure that recommendations for VPN, SSL/TLS, and other network security controls include Linux configuration steps and tools (e.g., strongSwan, OpenVPN, iptables).
