Configuration Drift and the Risk of Misconfiguration
Misconfigurations can undermine security even on fully patched systems. In this webinar, CalCom’s Co-Founder and Director of Business Development Roy Ludmir explains what configuration vulnerabilities are, how configuration drift happens, and why it matters for both cyber risk and compliance.
What You’ll Learn
- The difference between software vulnerabilities (CVEs) and configuration vulnerabilities.
- Why configuration vulnerabilities can’t be fixed with a patch and require secure configuration changes or removal/disablement.
- What configuration drift is: when a setting moves from secure to insecure.
- The three common causes of drift: privileged user changes, patch conflicts, and platform upgrades/default changes.
- Why drift is urgent for security: it can be exploited in minutes, and it can also create audit and compliance exposure over time.
