Summary:
The documentation exhibits a 'Windows-first' bias: the Windows requirements are presented in full detail and with concrete, actionable requirements, while the Linux section is explicitly marked as 'not yet supported' and only describes 'expected requirements.' Windows-specific tools and features (e.g., BitLocker, VBS, HVCI, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) are mentioned by name, with no Linux equivalents or examples provided. There is a lack of Linux-specific guidance, tools, or references, and the Linux section is less mature and actionable. In several places, Windows tools are referenced without parallel Linux alternatives, and the Linux section lacks practical implementation details or links.
Recommendations:
- When referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., BitLocker, VBS, HVCI), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, IMA, SELinux, AppArmor) and link to their documentation.
- Ensure that Linux requirements are as detailed and actionable as the Windows section, including concrete configuration steps, supported distributions, and example commands.
- Add Linux-specific resources and references, such as links to CIS Linux benchmarks, Linux security baseline guides, and open-source security tools.
- Where possible, avoid presenting Windows requirements first; instead, present both platforms in parallel or clarify that both are equally supported (once Linux support is available).
- For features like security logging, provide Linux-native solutions (e.g., auditd, syslog, OSSEC) alongside Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
- Update the Linux section as soon as support is available, and ensure it is not marked as 'not yet supported' for parity.
- Include example configurations or code snippets for both Windows (e.g., PowerShell) and Linux (e.g., shell commands) where relevant.
