Top 10 Windows Security Configurations: Where and How! (Part 1): “There are always top 10 lists that grab your attention; and this one should be no different. Windows provides many settings, options, and areas of configuration. In reality, this might be a Top 100 list, but there is only room for 10. This list is created from years of educating and asking myself questions like, “what do administrators do and not do when it comes to security?” This list seems to be where administrators fail to look and setup security. It also includes a few settings that are not all that well known, but certainly have huge rewards for securing your Windows environment. I have tried to include references to other articles that go deeper into the topic, in case you want to read more about the security setting being suggested.”
