As a security analyst in a large organization, you are responsible for establishing a secure baseline configuration for new Windows and Linux servers being deployed in the data center. What is the primary reason for creating this secure baseline?
To provide a guide for troubleshooting server issues by the technical support team.
To document the standard administrative practices and server maintenance procedures.
To ensure that all systems start from a known state of security and configurations that address security concerns.
To allow easy identification of servers in the network diagram and asset management database.
The primary reason for establishing a secure baseline configuration is to ensure that all systems start from a known state of security, with a consistent set of configurations that address security concerns. This makes it easier to manage, automate, and enforce security settings across multiple systems, reducing the likelihood of misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities.
