Secure Baselines

As technology continues to advance, so do the tactics of malicious actors seeking vulnerabilities to exploit. Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive information, preserving operational continuity, or upholding user trust, the application of common security techniques to computing resources is paramount.

A security baseline is the foundational set of security configurations and practices that establish a secure starting point for computing resources. They provide a standardized framework for configuring and managing computing resources. The following sections will consider each of the three phases of a secure baseline: establish, deploy, and maintain.
