Configuration Review

Fix Gaps Before Threats Exploit Them.

What It Is and Why It’s Important

Configuration Review examines how systems and software are set up to identify insecure settings, excessive permissions, or default parameters. In industrial environments, misconfigured systems can introduce attack vectors, even if the software itself is secure.

This is especially important in UAE’s critical sectors, where configuration errors can lead to compliance violations or operational disruptions.

Common Mistakes or Gaps Organizations Make

Using default passwords or admin credentials.
Over-permissioned accounts with system-level access.
Improper segmentation of production and corporate networks.
Inconsistent configuration management across devices.
Lack of version control and documentation for changes.
