Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias throughout. It consistently references Windows-specific tools (e.g., AppLocker, Hyper-V, Group Policy Objects, Windows Firewall, BitLocker, MMC, Windows PowerShell) and patterns (Active Directory, GPOs, AD DS) as the default or only approach for hardening and managing workstations. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples provided, and all command-line and security configuration guidance is Windows-centric. This leaves Linux/macOS users without clear, actionable steps or tool recommendations for achieving similar security postures.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples and tool recommendations for each Windows-specific technology (e.g., AppArmor/SELinux for AppLocker, iptables/nftables for Windows Firewall, LUKS for BitLocker, sudoers/polkit for GPOs/least privilege).
  • Include cross-platform Azure CLI and scripting examples (not just PowerShell).
  • Explicitly mention and link to Linux/macOS remote management and hardening guides.
  • Reorganize sections to present cross-platform or OS-agnostic principles first, followed by OS-specific implementations.
  • Add a table or appendix mapping Windows tools/patterns to their Linux/macOS counterparts.
