Скачать или смотреть Episode 115: OS Security Settings — Defender, BitLocker, NTFS

Securing a system starts with built-in operating system tools, and this episode walks you through three key Windows security features. First is Windows Defender, which provides real-time protection against malware, network attacks, and unwanted software changes. We explain how to configure scanning, quarantines, and exclusion lists. Next is BitLocker, Microsoft’s full-disk encryption solution, which protects data even if a drive is removed from its host system.


We conclude with NTFS permissions, which govern who can access, modify, or delete files and folders. These settings are often tested in exam questions related to securing user data or enforcing access controls. This episode helps you understand how to configure and manage each tool in ways that align with CompTIA objectives and best practices. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
