I'm a Systems Administrator and Architect for a company with around 200 employees. Recently, one of our Data Engineers installed WSL 2 on his Windows machine. Since all staff have E5 licenses, I'm using Intune and Defender for our Mobile Device Management (MDM) and antivirus solutions. I want to know the best practices for managing the Linux subsystem on Windows to ensure our setup is secure and compliant. Any tips or guidelines would be greatly appreciated!

For managing WSL 2, it’s crucial to have policies in place since traditional antivirus solutions may not directly protect the Linux environment. Make sure your Intune policies cover the interactions between Windows and WSL, especially for updates and compliance.
I've been in the same boat! I found this resource that could help you out: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/enterprise. It covers various best practices for using WSL in an enterprise environment, which might give you some solid guidelines to follow.
While I can't provide a complete solution, I know that CrowdStrike has a WSL module that should be enabled for better security. It's important for all admins to ensure that it's set up properly to keep things secure.
