What is Security configuration?

Security configuration refers to the process of setting up and managing security settings on IT systems, networks, and applications to protect them from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This involves defining security policies, implementing security controls, and regularly monitoring and auditing the security posture of an organization's IT infrastructure. Common use cases include hardening operating systems, configuring firewalls, implementing access controls, managing user accounts and permissions, and securing network devices.
