Harden Windows 10 2016 LTSB

Question

Good evening, community.

My query is if there is a CIS Benchmark baseline to hardenize Windows 10 2016 LTSB or if there is another baseline that allows me to hardenize, since I have been searching and I cannot find something related to the version of my operating system.

Is it advisable to harden my Windows 10 2016 LTSB operating system with Windows 10 Enterprise?

Answer 1

Hello Janice,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

The CIS Benchmarks are indeed helpful for hardening Windows operating systems. However, as of my last update in September 2021, there was no specific CIS Benchmark for Windows 10 2016 LTSB.

You may consider using the CIS Benchmark for Windows 10 Enterprise, which could provide valuable guidance for hardening your Windows 10 2016 LTSB system. Keep in mind that while some settings might be applicable, there could be differences between the two versions. Be sure to review and apply the recommendations carefully.

For the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking the Center for Internet Security (CIS) website or other authoritative sources related to cybersecurity.
