Identifying Your Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security Deployment Goals

Applies to

• Windows 10
• Windows Server 2016

Correctly identifying your Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security deployment goals is essential for the success of your Windows Defender Firewall design project. Form a project team that can clearly articulate deployment issues in a vision statement. When you write your vision statement, identify, clarify, and refine your deployment goals. Prioritize and, if possible, combine your deployment goals so that you can design and deploy Windows Defender Firewall by using an iterative approach. You can take advantage of the predefined Windows Defender Firewall deployment goals presented in this guide that are relevant to your scenarios.

The following table lists the three main tasks for articulating, refining, and subsequently documenting your Windows Defender Firewall deployment goals:

Deployment goal tasks	Reference links
