Secure configuration of systems and infrastructure to reduce risk and attack surface
Reduce Risk Through Secure Configuration
Security configuration is the process of setting up and maintaining systems, applications, and network infrastructure in accordance with established security best practices and requirements. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of misconfigurations, excessive privileges, and unnecessarily exposed services that can be leveraged as entry points for attacks. Effective configuration management and the application of controlled security settings help limit the attack surface, improve environmental resilience, and ensure predictable and secure operation of IT systems.
