Episode 117: Workstation Security Best Practices

from Certified - The CompTIA A+ Audio Course Hosted by Dr. Jason Edwards

Securing a user’s workstation is about more than antivirus—it involves a full spectrum of proactive configurations. This episode outlines best practices for maintaining a secure endpoint. We begin with patch management, including automatic updates and reboot scheduling, then move to account management, such as disabling unused accounts and enforcing password complexity. We also cover security policies like disabling auto-run features, using standard user accounts instead of admin-level logins, and controlling which applications are allowed to run. These practices help prevent infections, data leaks, and unauthorized access, all of which are central themes in the A Plus exam. You’ll finish the episode with a comprehensive checklist of security configurations for any workstation environment. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
