Chapter exercise – configuring firewall rules, enabling TLS encryption, and setting up audit logs
For this chapter’s exercises, you will be guided through the steps to configure firewall rules, enable TLS encryption, and set up audit logs in Windows Server 2025. These essential security measures are designed to enhance the protection of your server environment by controlling network traffic, securing data in transit, and monitoring user activities.
The exercises begin with configuring Windows Defender Firewall rules to specify which traffic is allowed or blocked, ensuring that only authorized connections are permitted. Next, you will enable TLS encryption to secure communications between your server and clients, protecting sensitive data from interception. Finally, you will set up audit logs to monitor and record significant activities within the server, helping you identify potential security breaches or unusual user behavior.
