Windows servers form the backbone of many corporate IT systems and are increasingly the target of cyberattacks. Professional hardening is therefore essential – also to meet regulatory requirements and security standards for operating systems and identity systems such as Active Directory or Entra ID.

In the practical workshop on securing and hardening Windows servers, you will learn how to harden your Windows server systems efficiently and sustainably. You will gain a comprehensive and practical insight into the concepts of system hardening and learn how to secure Windows Server from the ground up and in a process-oriented manner, what differences exist between manual and central configuration and why hardening via group policies/GPOs is often inefficient.
You will also learn what requirements arise from regulatory requirements and how you can integrate protective measures into your infrastructure.
Interactive and practical exercises
The workshop is highly practice-oriented and combines theoretical units with in-depth exercises, such as the use of the open source tool AuditTAP and the creation of a hardening GPO based on CIS. In addition, you will work on concrete case studies and discuss typical pitfalls in hardening projects. This way you gain practical experience and can apply what you have learned directly to your own work.
Learn from practical experiences
You benefit from the shared expertise of your trainers Matthias Laux and Nils Berg. Matthias Laux is an analyst in the Secure Configuration department at FB Pro GmbH. Nils Berg is an IT security consultant at TEAL Technology Consulting GmbH. Both specialize in preventive IT security and system hardening and regularly support companies with Active Directory, PKI and cloud security projects.

You bring practical experience from real projects into the workshop. This gives you practical classifications, learn about typical stumbling blocks from everyday life and gives you concrete tips on how to sensibly prioritize and implement measures in your own environment.
Through the direct exchange in the workshop, you can also raise your own questions and receive concrete feedback from practice – not abstractly, but in a way that you can use it directly.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
The workshop is aimed at system administrators, CISOs and IT security experts who want to specifically harden Windows Server and sustainably improve their security level.
