Security affects everyone in an organization from upper-level management to the information worker. Inadequate security is a real risk for organizations as a security breach can disrupt all normal business and bring the organization to a halt. Information technology infrastructure is susceptible to a wide variety of attacks. Attackers typically take advantage of vulnerabilities in the hardware, firmware, operating system, or the application layer. Once they gain a foothold, they use techniques such as privilege escalation to move laterally to other systems in the organization. Windows Server supports security capabilities that can help protect, as well as detect and respond to such attacks.
To learn about security capabilities in Windows Server 2025, read the Windows Server 2025 security book attached to this blog.
