Question:

You have installed a Windows Pro workstation in a workgroup. No centralized security exists. To protect yourself against malicious network attacks, which tool should you use?

A Windows Defender Firewall.
explanation

Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security, which may be used to block incoming and outgoing network traffic, is available on both Windows 10 and 11. Specific guidelines that are a part of an access control list (ACL) determine whether traffic is allowed or not. Windows Defender Firewall by default blocks incoming traffic. You can specify what incoming traffic you want to allow through by setting up exceptions. To set up user access to files, folders, and volumes, use NTFS permissions. Items like password policy and account lockout policies are configured using Local Security Policy. Computer Management is a Microsoft Management Console that has a number of widely used tools.
