This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.

This training course is part of our Workstations Training Courses. Discover our other workstation trainings to deploy, administer and secure your fleet of Windows endpoints.

Objectives of the training: Windows 10/11 Workstation Security Training Course – Best Practices, Hardening and Threat Prevention
objectives of the Description of the Windows 10/11 Workstation Security Training Course

By the end, each participant will be able to :

  • Identify common vulnerabilities on Windows workstations
  • Implement Microsoft security recommendations
  • Configure BitLocker, Defender, SmartScreen, firewalls, updates
  • Apply GPOs or usage restriction scripts
  • Train users to adopt safe behaviours
  • Strengthen local security without compromising productivity
Prerequisites of the training: Windows 10/11 Workstation Security Training Course – Best Practices, Hardening and Threat Prevention
Prerequisites
  • Basic knowledge of the Windows environment (10 or 11)
  • Understanding of user accounts, UAC, local security
  • Experience in system administration or IT support desirable

Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.

FAQ
How do I secure a Windows 10 or 11 workstation?

Securing Windows 10/11 involves enabling BitLocker disk encryption, requiring TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, applying Microsoft security baselines (Windows Hardening Baseline), running Microsoft Defender or another EDR, restricting local admin via LAPS, applying least-privilege user accounts, configuring Windows Defender Application Control or Smart App Control, patching weekly, and limiting attack surface via ASR rules. MFE-IT trains administrators on the full Windows workstation hardening checklist.

What is Windows Defender Application Control?

Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) is a Windows feature that lets administrators define exactly which executables, drivers, and scripts are allowed to run on managed devices — blocking everything else, including unknown malware. It is significantly stronger than traditional antivirus, but requires careful policy authoring. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners design and deploy a WDAC policy on a sample environment during the training.

What is Microsoft LAPS?

Microsoft Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) automatically rotates the local administrator password on each Windows endpoint and stores the current password securely in Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID — accessible only to authorized administrators. It eliminates the practice of using a single shared local admin password fleet-wide, a major attack vector. The MFE-IT Windows 10/11 Workstation Security training covers Windows LAPS deployment end to end.

Is Windows Defender enough?

Microsoft Defender Antivirus, paired with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (the EDR component included in Microsoft 365 E5 / Defender for Business), is now considered enterprise-grade and consistently rated among the top EDRs in independent tests. For most organizations, replacing third-party AV with Defender simplifies licensing and integration. Our MFE-IT training course on Windows 10/11 Workstation Security covers Defender deployment and tuning.
