Advanced Plus Security TopN0ch's 2021 Security Configuration

[TopN0ch]

Hello everyone! This is my current security configuration. It ain't much but it's honest work

I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions for my setup. Feel free to be critical - roast me (in good way of course)

Windows Defender for Endpoint (Formerly Defender ATP)

So you pay for it?

Data Execution Prevention for all programs and services - Enabled/Default

Default doesn't enforce enable.
Opt-In is default so you need manually adding programs.
You can get the status with this command line command:
bcdedit /enum (search for NX)
Most secure one is: AlwaysOn

RAM: Team Group T-Force 32GB 4133 MHz

That's very high frequency. Why so high?
Did you do it for your Ryzen too?

Yeap, it is not that expensive - works about 5$ a month

Hmm, I ve got to double check this cause I am quite sure there is a list of apps already in there with different settings (Maybe a Defender ATP feature?)

I bought them with that frequency mainly for my CPU but I am planning to "tune them at 3800 - 1900 fabric

I didn't know that to be honest. I am quite happy with their service so far but I will definitely look into it, thanks!

That's unbelievably cheap. But how does it work?
Doesn't ATP need a "server"?

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

You will need to create an Azure tenancy which you can have for free and then contact a Microsoft license partner to get a license. The following URL has more info about it but feel free to reach out if you need any help.
