What is Configurable Security?

Configurable security refers to security systems and mechanisms that can be customized and adapted to specific needs and environments. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, configurable security allows administrators to define security policies, rules, and parameters based on factors like risk tolerance, compliance requirements, and operational constraints. This often involves setting up access controls, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and encryption protocols with custom rules. Common uses include tailoring security to specific applications, user roles, network segments, or data types, to provide appropriate levels of protection while minimizing disruption to legitimate activities.
