  • Research Project: Windows Server Hardening & Security Baseline Implementation. (virtual lab environment) We secure a Windows Server by disabling unnecessary services and accounts, configuring the Windows Defender Firewall to control traffic, and establishing strict user permissions. This process significantly reduces the server's attack surface and makes it more resilient against exploitation. The successful outcome is a robustly configured server with a minimal risk of compromise. A final report would document the steps taken and the enhanced security posture.
