If your educational institution included the Jones & Bartlett labs as part of the course curriculum, use this script to introduce the lab:

 

"In this lesson, you learned about a variety of access control strategies available to an organization, such as physical security, technical controls, and the principle of least privilege. You also explored how designing an access control system helps meet business needs.

 

In the lab for this lesson, you will explore the capabilities of Windows Firewall, a type of technical control used in many businesses today. You will test the default configuration of Windows Firewall, configure Windows Firewall inbound rules to allow HTTP connections, and confirm that the new inbound firewall rule was configured correctly."
