Download free Windows Server 2025 security guide

Microsoft announced the general availability of Windows Server 2025 in early November. The new version introduces a new and enhanced set of security features to address modern security threats that can compromise the safety of not only local, hybrid, but also cloud environments. Today, the Redmond company officially released the Windows Server 2025 Security Advice document for free.

This book is essentially designed as a guide for those responsible for securing Windows Server in an enterprise environment. It helps you better understand the protections currently embedded in Windows Server. Best of all, the PDF is only 19 pages long, so even the busiest system administrators won't have to spend too much time reading it.

The book is divided into eight chapters, covering system hardening and baselines, credential protection and application control, silicon-enabled security enhancements, operational security and continuous monitoring, workload security for virtual machines and containers, advanced network security with micro-segmentation combined with advanced compliance, and finally threat detection.

With the global digital trend and geopolitical tensions, the International Monetary Fund warns that the intensity and scale of cyberattacks have increased rapidly in recent years. For this reason, Windows Server 2025 administrators need to be more vigilant than ever. With this book from Microsoft, they can better equip themselves to prepare against potential attacks.

The information included in Windows Server 2025 Security Advice benefits readers for the next decade, with mainstream support ending in October 2029 and extended support lasting until October 2034, so this book is definitely worth the time to read if you're a system administrator.
