Earlier this month, Microsoft announced the general availability of Windows Server 2025. This new version comes equipped with a range of enhanced security features aimed at combating modern threats in on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. To complement this launch, Microsoft has released a free guide titled "Windows Server 2025 Security Advice," which is tailored for those responsible for managing security in enterprise setups.
The security book is concise at just 19 pages, making it accessible for busy administrators. It is structured into eight chapters, covering crucial topics such as system hardening, credential protection, application control, silicon-assisted security, operational security, workload security for virtual machines and containers, advanced network security measures, and compliance alongside threat detection.
With the increasing prevalence of cyberattacks highlighted by the International Monetary Fund, it is vital for administrators of Windows Server 2025 to familiarize themselves with the content of this book to better safeguard their systems.
The insights offered in the guide are expected to be relevant well into the future, with mainstream support for Windows Server 2025 lasting until October 2029 and extended support continuing until October 2034. This makes it a valuable resource for any IT administrator.
