Microsoft is dedicated to provide our customers with a secure operating system, such as Windows 10 and Windows Server, as well as secure apps, such as Microsoft Edge. In addition to the security assurance of its products, Microsoft also enables you to have fine control of your environments by providing various configuration capabilities. Even though Windows and Windows Server are designed to be secure out-of-the-box, a large number of organizations still want more granular control of their security configurations. To navigate these large number of controls, organizations need guidance for configuring various security features. Microsoft provides this guidance in the form of security baselines.
