What you'll learn

  • Discover the Defense in Depth model and how each Windows Server 2019 security feature plays a role
  • Protect data at rest using disk- and file-level encryption
  • Use many host-level protections, including Windows Defender, Local Policies, User Rights Assignments, and host-based firewalls
  • Develop threat detection procedures using Operations Management Suite
  • Apply the best practice of the Principle of Least Privilege using features such as Just in Time Administration and Just Enough Administration
  • Lockdown Windows servers and client operating systems using Microsoft Baseline Analyzer and Privileged Access Workstations

Course content

5 sections • 23 lectures • 2h 21m total length

  • The Course Overview4:01

    This video will give you an overview about the course.

  • The Defense-in- Depth Model6:09

    Introduction to Defense in Depth, the foundation for implementing and maintaining a secure server infrastructure.

       •  Learn about the Defense in Depth model

       •  Relate the Defense in Depth to network architecture components

  • Policies, Procedures, and Awareness5:13

    Implementing security requires a comprehensive set of policies, procedures, as well as, user awareness. This video explains how to implement policies and procedures on Windows Server 2019 to enforce security.

       •  Document security policies

       •  Document procedures for implementing security

       •  Provide user awareness on how to maintain a secure computing environment

  • Auditing Using Group Policy6:57

    Auditing is necessary to ensure that policies and procedures are being followed. Group Policy provides the mechanism to ensure that computer policies are being followed.

       •  Understand the importance of auditing

       •  Conceptual understanding of Group Policy and how settings are applied

       •  Learn about the Audit Policy settings available in Group Policy

  • Configuring User Rights Assignments6:33

    Security polices follow the Principle of Least Privilege, granting users just enough rights to perform their job. Group Policy can grant specific computer rights to users and groups.

       •  Understand the concept of Principle of Least Privilege

       •  Understand what User Rights are, with regards to compute resources

       •  Learn how to apply User Rights Assignment settings to computers

  • Creating Security Settings Baselines Using MBSA7:36

    Managing and maintaining the configuration settings for servers is a challenging, but necessary part of server security. Security baselines are templates with security settings, that can be used to test and configure Windows computers.

       •  Understand the purpose of baselines, and how they are used to maintain and configure security settings in Group Policy

       •  Identify the Group Policy settings that comprise the security settings managed by the Security Configuration and Analysis tool

       •  Configure and apply a security baseline to a Windows Server 2019 server

  • Test Your Knowledge

Requirements

  • Previous experience of Windows Server operating systems and familiarity with networking concepts is required. System administrators who are upgrading or migrating to Windows Server 2019 would also benefit from this course.

Description

Windows Server has built-in security features to help you a better understanding of the operating system and detect malicious activity. It helps you protect your networks and ensure that valuable resources are efficiently secured.

In this course, we’ll begin by taking a look at Windows Server 2019, configuring disk and file encryption, implementing malware protection, and creating security baselines. You’ll learn how to manage privileged access management by implementing the different features of Windows Server.

Moving on, you’ll learn to implement threat detection solutions to determine threats and keep your application protected. You’ll configure network security, including firewalls, implement a Software Defined Data center Firewall, secure network traffic, and look at secure virtualization, such as encryption-supported virtual machines.

During the course, you’ll work on live demos, participate in hands-on labs, as you shore up your skills for ongoing security management. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to create a protected and agile application environment using the both stability and flexibility of Windows Server 2019.
