Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (such as Group Policy, Windows Firewall, SMB encryption, and Windows-specific security books) are mentioned before or in more detail than their Linux equivalents. Powershell and Windows-centric upgrade instructions are referenced in VM upgrade scenarios. Some sections, such as ransomware protection, reference Windows-specific tools (Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool) without Linux alternatives. While Linux is covered in OS hardening and Defender for Endpoint deployment, Windows examples and resources often appear first or are more detailed.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples and tools are provided alongside Windows ones, especially for security configuration, patching, and ransomware protection.
  • When referencing upgrade or configuration guides (e.g., VM generation upgrades), include Linux-specific instructions and CLI examples, not just Windows/Powershell.
  • List Linux and Windows resources in parallel, rather than Windows-first, to avoid perception of priority.
  • For tools like Defender for Endpoint, provide equal detail and links for both Linux and Windows deployment/configuration.
  • Include Linux equivalents for Windows-only tools mentioned (e.g., reference ClamAV or other Linux malware scanners alongside Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool).
  • Expand Linux-specific security recommendations (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, Linux firewall configuration) to match the depth of Windows coverage.
