For years, Configuration Management was associated only with the setup of software and applications.  While many security breaches come from the result of missing or mis-configured software, it is also the result of deployment issues, user ignorance in the form of altering configuration settings, and/or an insider introducing or making systems vulnerable to malicious code.  To prepare against destructive breaches and vulnerabilities, Praetorian Secure takes an information assurance approach to Configuration Management and integrates a comprehensive program by linking vulnerability assessment, automated remediation and compliance. This includes deployment, change management to hardware, software, firmware, documentation, test, test fixtures, and test documentation throughout the life cycle of an information system.  Praetorian Secure’s Configuration Management program includes developing a management process that focuses on:

• Business process & policy infrastructure

• Physical hardware products and versions

• Operating system software products and versions

• Application development products and versions

• Networking products and versions

• Baseline configurations & patch management(software and hardware)

• Configuration monitoring, detection and automated corrective action

Configuration Management should be designed to accommodate change, and Praetorian Secure has the skill sets to develop policies that allow for structured change for rapid reconfiguration when needed without sacrificing an organization’s security posture.  This program is designed to enforce multiple security policies simultaneously, detect mis-configuration settings, remediate and automatically return systems to compliance, and close endpoint security gaps.
