Which process includes the continuous verification of security configurations against a baseline while preventing and remediating any deviations from the established settings?
Compliance auditing
Baseline reporting
System hardening
Configuration enforcement
Configuration enforcement is the active management practice of verifying and ensuring that devices adhere to a secure configuration baseline, and any deviations are corrected. It encompasses more than the initial setting up of configurations; it includes the ongoing management to prevent unauthorized changes. The incorrect options given are related practices that play a role in system and network security but do not encompass the idea of persistent verification and remediation against a set baseline of configurations. 'Compliance auditing' is often mistaken for configuration enforcement; however, it is a periodic review rather than a continuous process. The distinction is subtle but important for understanding the continuous nature of configuration enforcement.
