Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and features (such as Group Policy, Windows Firewall, SMB encryption, and Windows security books) are described in detail, often before or with more depth than their Linux equivalents. Windows examples and recommendations (e.g., Defender XDR blocking on Windows, Windows-specific account management) are presented first or exclusively in several sections. Linux guidance is present but sometimes less detailed, and some examples (e.g., for upgrading Gen1 to Gen2 VMs) are Windows/Powershell-centric. Some tools/resources (e.g., Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool) are Windows-only, with no Linux alternatives mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS examples are provided alongside Windows examples, especially for critical operations (e.g., VM upgrades, encryption, patching).
  • Present Linux and Windows guidance in parallel, rather than Windows-first ordering.
  • Include Linux-native security tools and malware scanners (e.g., ClamAV, Sophos, etc.) in the ransomware protection section.
  • Expand Linux hardening sections with more detailed, actionable steps, matching the depth of Windows guidance.
  • Where Windows-specific features (e.g., Group Policy) are mentioned, provide Linux equivalents or alternatives (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, firewall configuration via iptables/nftables).
  • Add explicit macOS considerations where relevant, or clarify platform limitations.
