Overview of this book

Are you looking for the most current and effective ways to protect Windows-based systems from being compromised by intruders? This updated second edition is a detailed guide that helps you gain the expertise to implement efficient security measures and create robust defense solutions using modern technologies. The first part of the book covers security fundamentals with details around building and implementing baseline controls. As you advance, you’ll learn how to effectively secure and harden your Windows-based systems through hardware, virtualization, networking, and identity and access management (IAM). The second section will cover administering security controls for Windows clients and servers with remote policy management using Intune, Configuration Manager, Group Policy, Defender for Endpoint, and other Microsoft 365 and Azure cloud security technologies. In the last section, you’ll discover how to protect, detect, and respond with security monitoring, reporting, operations, testing, and auditing. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed an understanding of the processes and tools involved in enforcing security controls and implementing zero-trust security principles to protect Windows systems.

A CASB helps to provide visibility into shadow IT processes using its discovery mechanisms, which is traditionally a challenge for many organizations without a CASB solution in place. A benefit of using MDCA as your CASB is the native connectivity available for those heavily invested in Microsoft technologies. It also integrates easily with other cloud providers (AWS and Google), allowing for visibility into all combined cloud environments from a single console.

Planning for the implementation of MDCA can be divided into a few high-level steps. If your organization contains many apps, users, and devices, there can be a substantial amount of discovery data to review, and plan for a significant investment of time...
