So as you prepare to take the course,
let's spend a minute to discuss what we will actually
be focusing on within this course.
The next module will be focused purely on how we can securely manage
Windows Server 2022. Here we will look at how we can manage it using
the Windows Admin Center and how we can leverage Azure Arc for
management of our non‑Azure resources. Then we will move into how we
can secure Windows Server 2022.
This module will focus on securing credentials,
managing and implementing Windows firewall rules,
working with malware protection, and augmenting our security
with some Azure security functionality.
We will then dive into how we can enhance the protections, and this is where
we will start leveraging some of the additional security capabilities and
services from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft
Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. And then finally in
the last module, we will focus on how we can secure Windows Server by making
use of a security baseline.
The baseline that we're going to be working with are the baselines that
is created and shared and maintained by Microsoft. So without further ado, let's move on to securely managing Windows Server 2022.
