Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. It consistently references Windows-specific tools (such as AppLocker, Hyper-V, Group Policy, Windows Firewall, BitLocker, and MMC), and management patterns (GPOs, AD DS, Windows PowerShell) without mentioning Linux or cross-platform equivalents. All example scenarios, hardening recommendations, and diagrams are Windows-centric. There are no Linux or macOS management examples, nor are Linux-native tools, security controls, or hardening strategies discussed. The document assumes the reader is operating in a Windows/Active Directory environment.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux (and macOS, if relevant) management and hardening examples, such as using iptables/nftables for firewalling, SELinux/AppArmor for execution restriction, and sudoers for least privilege.
- Reference cross-platform Azure management tools, such as Azure CLI and Azure Cloud Shell, and provide usage examples for Linux/macOS terminals.
- Discuss Linux-native security practices (e.g., SSH key management, PAM configuration, systemd service hardening) alongside Windows recommendations.
- Mention open-source or cross-platform alternatives to Windows tools (e.g., instead of AppLocker, discuss AppArmor/SELinux policies; instead of GPO, discuss configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef).
- Clarify which recommendations are Windows-specific and provide parallel guidance for non-Windows environments.
- Add diagrams and scenarios that show Linux (and possibly macOS) endpoints as management workstations.
