To assess the security efficacy of the IT environment, a secure configuration review examines and verifies in detail the configuration settings of systems, network devices, and applications that make up the IT infrastructure.
Typically, the required secure configuration settings may not be applied or may be overlooked while implementing, maintaining, or upgrading computer systems, networks, or network security devices. Therefore, it's essential to regularly assess the IT environment's secure setup in order to maintain organization-wide security.
