Creating a jump host in 2023
Critically, harden the OS. Like, more than you think you need to. Way more. Consider the jump host capability as a core component of each system/environment/platform/application it's used to access/manage and assess value and risk with all those business processes/functions in mind even though you're using one jump host for each of those use cases because, inevitably, the same template/container/configuration/script will be reused so any misconfigurations will replicate. If you need a Windows OS, consider hardening kitty as it offers a locally executable option for both hardening and auditing. If you need to met regulatory requirements (HIPAA, CMMC, FISMA, PCI, etc.), consider OpenSCAP or whatever paid solution you use for agent-based vuln scans (avoid less intensive solutions that only run unauthenticated scans or network-based audits, they tend to avoid non-CVE vulns that exist in the configuration). If you need to rely on open source endpoint security solutions like Wazuh make sure they integrate nicely with SIEM, SOAR, and remote management. Wherever possible, use DevOps-friendly solutions for configuration management (think Ansible and Terraform vice Github Actions :) ) and remember that, if you're responding to an incident, you're going to want to suspend all of your jump boxes, retain any storage and their full memory state, and spin up verifiably clean jump boxes so you have confidence in your connections into the environment. This is the most commonly overlooked need (most orgs seem to be aware of their privilege sprawl issue) and it has a MASSIVE impact on your ability to quickly begin effective investigation and response efforts in the event of an incident (most orgs do NOT seem to be aware of this and it costs them time and meaningful information during incidents).

Is Windows Defender for Business any good?
Agree. Harden your endpoints (if unsure where to start consider hardening kitty, https://github.com/scipag/HardeningKitty) and harden Defender (https://0ut3r.space/2022/03/06/windows-defender/). Add Sysmon with a good config (https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular) and you've reached a good starting point.

Ciphers... Edge... I wanna AES256 SHA384 only
I use a tool called Hardening-Kitty https://github.com/scipag/HardeningKitty , which has recommended policy lists from a variety of organizations. I check my computer with all of them. They don't all agree, of course, so I kind of pick and choose a little. But the lists have helped me find things I had no idea where they were.

BadBlood - BadBlood by @davidprowe, Secframe.com, fills a Microsoft Active Directory Domain with a structure and thousands of objects. The output of the tool is a domain similar to a domain in the real world. After BadBlood is ran on a domain, security analysts and engineers can practice using tools to gain an understanding and prescribe to securing Active Directory. Each time this tool runs, it produces different results. The domain, users, groups, computers and permissions are different. Every. Single. Time.
