You will also research services running on a Windows workstation to determine which services are not necessary. You will use the Services component in Administrative Tools to disable those services. Then you will research Windows Firewall rules for the workstation to determine which rules can be modified to harden the firewall. You will use the Advanced Settings section of Windows Firewall to make the changes.
