Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. It consistently references Windows-specific tools (such as AppLocker, Hyper-V, Group Policy, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, and PowerShell) as the primary or only examples for hardening, management, and security. There are no equivalent Linux tools or workflows mentioned, nor are there any Linux-specific examples or guidance for securing non-Windows management endpoints. The language assumes Windows as the default management environment, with no discussion of Linux-based administrative workstations or tools.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux examples and recommendations throughout, such as using iptables/nftables for firewalling, AppArmor/SELinux for application control, and open-source VPN solutions.
- Include Linux-based management workstation hardening guidance (e.g., minimal install, sudoers configuration, SSH key management, Linux patching best practices).
- Reference cross-platform Azure management tools (e.g., Azure CLI, which is available on Linux/macOS/Windows) and provide usage examples for both PowerShell and Bash.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows security features (e.g., dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption, auditd for auditing, systemd services for restricting execution).
- Discuss Linux domain integration options (e.g., using SSSD/realmd for joining Linux systems to Active Directory or Azure AD).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are given equal prominence, or at least acknowledge Linux as a first-class management platform.
