Security configuration management (SCM) solutions are built to make issues visible to IT security professionals, and to give them the tools they need to manage them in the most automated way possible.

In IT security, obvious weaknesses like weak configurations often get overlooked. Yet for hackers, they’re an open door into networks and systems.
While there’s no such thing as a 100 percent secure IT environment, taking the fundamental steps to assess and harden IT systems is basic “blocking and tackling” that eliminates the root cause of the vast majority of breaches.

Download this whitepaper to learn how security configuration management (SCM), a critical security control, hardens configurations to prevent breaches, and immediately detects and corrects any subsequent changes that weaken them.
