Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows technologies and patterns (e.g., SMB 3.0, Windows/Windows Server, PowerShell attacks) are mentioned explicitly and often before or without Linux equivalents. Examples and references to Windows tools (such as SMB 3.0 for encryption, Secure Admin Workstations, and PowerShell) are present, while Linux-specific tools or patterns are rarely mentioned or only referenced in passing. There is a lack of parity in examples and guidance for Linux environments, especially in sections discussing encryption, monitoring, and security incident detection.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux examples alongside Windows ones, such as mentioning NFSv4.1 with Kerberos for encrypted file shares, or Linux disk encryption methods (dm-crypt, LUKS) in VM encryption guidance.
  • When referencing Windows tools (e.g., SMB 3.0, PowerShell), also mention Linux alternatives (e.g., SSH, rsync over SSH, Bash scripting, auditd for monitoring).
  • Include Linux-specific security best practices and monitoring tools (such as SELinux, AppArmor, fail2ban, syslog, auditd) in relevant sections.
  • Ensure that examples and recommendations for client-side encryption, secure admin workstations, and privileged access management include Linux-based workflows and tooling.
  • Balance references to attack detection by including more Linux-focused scenarios and tools, not just PowerShell or Windows-centric attacks.
  • Review and update diagrams and illustrations to show cross-platform applicability, not just Windows-centric technologies.
