Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows Hello) before or instead of Linux equivalents, and by referencing Windows authentication and security features without parallel Linux examples. While Linux is mentioned as supported in some features, there are no Linux-specific tools, commands, or examples provided. The authentication section, in particular, highlights Windows Hello but omits Linux authentication options. No Linux command-line or configuration examples are present, and the documentation does not address Linux-specific ransomware mitigation strategies or tools.
Recommendations:
- When listing authentication options, include Linux-compatible solutions (e.g., FIDO2 keys, PAM modules) alongside Windows Hello.
- Provide Linux-specific examples or references for endpoint protection, backup, and recovery (e.g., how Azure Backup interacts with Linux VMs, or how to configure Defender for Cloud on Linux).
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., bash, systemd, or auditd) where relevant, especially in sections discussing detection, response, or automation.
- Explicitly mention Linux security features or best practices (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, Linux file system permissions) in the context of ransomware defense.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence when discussing supported platforms or features.
