About Configuration review

A configuration review is a deep dive into system, network, and application settings to uncover hidden security gaps before attackers do. It ensures firewall rules, access controls, and encryption settings are properly configured to prevent breaches. Weak passwords, outdated protocols, and misconfigurations are identified and fixed to strengthen security. Using tools like CIS Benchmarks, Nessus, and OpenSCAP, organizations can automate assessments and stay compliant with standards like PCI DSS and ISO 27001. Regular reviews help reduce attack surfaces, enhance defense strategies, and keep cyber threats at bay. A well-configured system isn’t just secure—it’s a fortress against evolving cyber risks.
