They contain valuable recommendations and can help you understand how Microsoft approaches a secure configuration. However, I do not fancy using them as the foundation of my device configuration strategy.</p> <p>A friend of mine says, &ldquo;They are great if you do not know what you are doing.&rdquo; I see it differently. If you do not know what you are doing, you should not apply a large collection of security settings that you cannot explain. A baseline does not remove the need to understand each setting. It makes that understanding even more important.</p>
