Putting a proper focus on securing endpoints is essential to a strong security posture within any organization. Mark and Matt have captured all of the key areas of protecting Windows environments with this book. With their focus on zero-trust security principles, they have covered hardware (physical and virtual), networking, identity and access, and all aspects of monitoring and security operations. This is a must have for any endpoint administrator or security operations analyst.

This is an awesome book. Good enough that I felt compelled to come here and write a review to show my appreciation to the author. The book has very valuable insights into best practices, and lessons learned. If you have an MS Windows environment then you need to pick up a copy of this book. The authors cover everything needed in protecting your Windows devices. This includes using a zero-trust architecture with a multi-layered approach to protecting your devices. This is critical today.

I had the privilege of receiving Mastering Windows Security and Hardening authored by Mark Dunkerley and Matt Tumbarello, graciously provided for review by Packt Publishing. This comprehensive work demonstrates an adept handling of technical intricacies, guiding readers from the foundational stages of Baselining their Windows Environment to the more nuanced realms of Hardware and Virtualization.The authors delves deeply into hardware certification and advancements in hardware security, along with an exhaustive exploration of virtualization-based security concepts. The meticulous examination extends to critical components such as BIOS, UEFI, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot, ensuring a thorough understanding essential for Windows Endpoint Architecture and Administration.Transitioning seamlessly, the book traverses Networking Fundamentals, elucidating on Network Security and Hardening, and delves into Identity & Access Management. Here, readers encounter detailed discussions on account and access management, authentication protocols, multifactor authentication (MFA), passwordless authentication, conditional-based access controls, and identity protection mechanisms.The narrative further escalates with advanced insights into Mitigating Common Attack Vectors, dissecting prevalent attack methodologies employed by threat actors to infiltrate networks and propagate laterally. Notably, Chapter 12 scrutinizes Windows Server Security, introducing server roles and illuminating the security-centric features inherent in Windows Server 2022.Concluding with a summary of recommendations and best practices, the book furnishes indispensable insights for Windows Environment Architects and Administrators, facilitating the evolution of their infrastructure towards robust security paradigms, including the principles of Zero Trust.This book serves as an invaluable companion for navigating the intricacies of Microsoft Enterprise E5 (comprising Intune licensing, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Windows Enterprise) and Enterprise Mobility + Security E3/E5 with Azure AD P2, particularly in managing the formidable challenges of Identity & Access Management.In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse this book as an indispensable resource, offering a pragmatic roadmap for Windows Infrastructure Administrators and Architects to cultivate a resilient and secure ecosystem.
