Mapping your implementation goals to a Windows Firewall with Advanced Security design

After you finish reviewing the existing Windows Firewall with Advanced Security implementation goals and you determine which goals are important to your specific deployment, you can map those goals to a specific Windows Firewall with Advanced Security design.

Important

The first three designs presented in this guide build on each other to progress from simpler to more complex. Therefore during deployment, consider implementing them in the order presented. Each deployed design also provides a stable position from which to evaluate your progress, and to make sure that your goals are being met before you continue to the next design.

Use the following table to determine which Windows Firewall with Advanced Security design maps to the appropriate combination of Windows Firewall with Advanced Security implementation goals for your organization. This table refers only to the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security designs as described in this guide. However, you can create a hybrid or custom Windows Firewall with Advanced Security design by using any combination of the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security implementation goals to meet the needs of your organization.

Deployment Goals	Basic Firewall Policy Design	Domain Isolation Policy Design	Server Isolation Policy Design	Certificate-based Isolation Policy Design
Protect Devices from Unwanted Network Traffic	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Restrict Access to Only Trusted Devices	-	Yes	Yes	Yes
Restrict Access to Only Specified Users or Devices	-	-	Yes	Yes
Require Encryption When Accessing Sensitive Network Resources	-	Optional	Optional	Optional
