## โœ… Top Recommendations

- ๐Ÿ”ด **Upgrade from Windows 7** โ€” EOL since January 2020, no security patches available
- ๐Ÿ”ด **Disable SMBv1** โ€” Primary attack vector for EternalBlue
- ๐Ÿ”ด **Patch immediately** โ€” MS17-010, MS08-067, CVE-2019-0708
- ๐ŸŸ  **Enforce strong passwords** โ€” Minimum 14 characters with complexity
- ๐ŸŸ  **Enable Host-based Firewall** โ€” Block ports 445, 135, 3389 from untrusted networks
- ๐ŸŸก **Deploy EDR solution** โ€” No endpoint protection was detected during testing
