Course Overview
[Autogenerated] Hi, everyone. My name is Rachel in play and welcome to my course, Securing Windows Server 2019. I am a security practice lead, an offensive security author and with the wide range of advanced Attackers out there today, it's absolutely impossible to run any server environment without security in this course. We all work specifically with Windows Server 2019 and its security capabilities. Since Windows Server 2019 has a vast array off security features, I will show you how to secure it, using a mix off the graphical interface and PowerShell. Some of the major topics that we will cover include Windows Server 2019, bolting security features, protecting credentials, protecting against Mall Way and deploying a Microsoft Security baseline. By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation on securing Windows Server 2019. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn how to secure Windows Server with the Security Windows Server 2019 course at Pluralsight
