Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for most security best practices, but Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell and Windows Defender) are often presented first or exclusively. Windows-specific recommendations (e.g., Windows Defender, security baselines) are included without Linux equivalents, and PowerShell commands are used for Windows encryption, while Linux uses bash/openssl. Some sections, like Windows Defender and security baselines, are Windows-only, but this is appropriate given their nature. However, minor friction exists for Linux users due to Windows-first ordering and lack of Linux parity in some recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Where possible, provide Linux-first or parallel examples (e.g., bash/openssl before or alongside PowerShell).
  • Explicitly mention Linux alternatives for Windows-specific tools (e.g., recommend ClamAV or other Linux antivirus solutions in the Windows Defender section).
  • For security baseline recommendations, link to Linux security best practices (e.g., CIS Linux benchmarks) alongside Windows baselines.
  • Ensure that Linux guidance is as prominent and detailed as Windows guidance throughout the document.
