Create a Custom SFTP Rule in Windows Defender | Security+ SY0-601 Lab | CertBlaster
In this Security+ SY0-601 scenario-based lab, we go through the process of establishing a custom inbound firewall rule for Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security. The operation is to open secure SFTP connections (TCP port 22) from an IP address of 10.0.0.194 within a private network. You'll become proficient using the custom rule wizard, setting ports and scopes, defining network profiles, and implementing correct naming conventions—all under exam objective 3.3: deploying secure network design. This hands-on practice is ideal for becoming proficient in real-world skills and readying yourself for the Security+ exam.
