Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight. Welcome to the
lesson, Secure Windows Server Networking.
My name's Tim Warner. We have three learning goals for this module.
We'll start with managing Windows Defender Firewall, and then we're
going to continue in that theme. We'll implement domain isolation,
as well as connection security rules.
Now you might be a little bit bummed like I was. When I
first saw this AZ‑801 exam objective, I thought rock on,
I love TCP/IP internetworking, and especially if we're talking hybrid cloud,
that brings us into Azure. And I was a little bit let down.
The skill here is really all about the host‑based Windows Defender
Firewall. There's still a lot of fun stuff here,
so I'm excited.
I hope you are too.
I'm just being completely candid.
Well, anyway, enough blabbering on. Lets get into the content, shall we?
This course is Secure On‑premises and Hybrid Infrastructure, part of our
AZ‑801 skill path. Six modules in this course, and we're on five of six
right now. We've come a long way if you've been with me in the course from
the beginning. We started with securing the Windows Server OS. We then did
two lessons on accounts.
Then we moved into Azure services and Windows Server security.
That was essentially a consideration of Microsoft Sentinel
and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Today,
as you know,
Windows Server networking basically resolves into Windows
Defender Firewall. And then we'll finish in the sixth lesson with Windows Server storage. Let's get to it.
