About Misconfiguration Risk
Misconfigurations are security weaknesses caused by improper setup of systems, applications, or cloud services. They represent one of the most common causes of data breaches and security incidents. Misconfigurations can occur at any layer of the technology stack and often result from human error, lack of security knowledge, or inadequate change management processes.
Common Misconfigurations
- Default credentials and passwords
- Open security groups and firewall rules
- Disabled logging and monitoring
- Incorrect encryption settings
Detection Approaches
- Configuration scanning and compliance checks
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security testing
- Cloud security posture management (CSPM)
- Continuous configuration monitoring
Prevention Strategies
- Security configuration baselines and hardening
- Automated deployment and configuration management
- Regular security assessments and audits
- DevSecOps integration and security testing
