In the ever-evolving landscape of network security, enterprises must navigate complex infrastructures, involving components like Windows Defender Firewall, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and Active Directory (AD). Vulnerabilities within any of these elements can trigger a chain reaction, potentially leading to extensive damage to your network. In this article, we explore the inherent weaknesses in network infrastructures and how to mitigate them by leveraging GPOs to optimize Windows Defender Firewall configurations.
Alternatively, you can implement a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution to gain critical insights into remote access, GPO changes, Windows Defender Firewall policy modifications, and other relevant activities. A comprehensive SIEM tool, such as the free 30-day trial of ManageEngine Log360, provides holistic network monitoring and robust threat detection and remediation capabilities to ensure the overall health and security of your network.
