Enterprise EDR Agent Deployment & Windows Endpoint Hardening
Table of Contents
Securing the Primary Corporate Attack Surface
Employee laptops and desktop workstations represent the primary vector for ransomware infections and credential theft. Hardening endpoint configurations and deploying EDR agents forms the first line of defense.
Applying CIS Benchmark Endpoint Hardening Policies
Enforce Group Policy (GPO) hardening: disabling SMBv1 protocols, restricting PowerShell execution policies, enforcing BitLocker disk encryption, disabling USB mass storage auto-run, and enabling Windows Defender Credential Guard.
Silent EDR Agent Mass Deployment via MDM/GPO
Deploy EDR agents silently across thousands of Windows endpoints using Microsoft Intune or Group Policy, configuring tamper protection to prevent unauthorized agent un-installation by local users.
