This operation is

optional

optional allowing SBA administrators to configure the security settings for roles, role services, and features on the SBA. This

basically

applies security rules to the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system on the ASM hosting the SBA, and improves system hardening (i.e., reducing its surface of vulnurability).

You can do so by either Applying a Predefined Security Template, or Importing a Custom Security Template of choice. The following is a list of the main groups of security rules that are modified:

  • Microsoft OS Services
  • Microsoft OS Networking Firewall
  • Microsoft OS Registry Values
  • Microsoft OS Audit
  • Microsoft OS SCE Templates
