ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
When hardening a new server, which activity most directly exemplifies configuration management by establishing and maintaining an approved secure state?
Installing the latest security updates from the vendor.
Running a vulnerability scan to locate missing patches.
Forwarding system event logs to a centralized SIEM.
Documenting the baseline configuration and requiring formal change approval for any future adjustments.
Configuration management focuses on defining a secure baseline and ensuring any departure from that baseline is controlled. Documenting the baseline and enforcing formal change approval keeps the system's configuration consistent and secure. Vulnerability scanning, patch installation, and log forwarding are important security tasks, but they relate to assessment, patch management, and monitoring rather than to maintaining and controlling the configuration itself.
