Security posture is a reference to the cybersecurity strength of an organization, which includes an assessment of its ability to detect and respond to security threats. Logically, this means that security posture management deals with the oversight and control of an organization’s detection and response to threats by means of security posture management software.
A security posture includes an array of tools and strategies used to guard networks, devices, users, and data from all kinds of threats, including:
- Compromised/stolen credentials
- Breaches
- Data loss
- Network performance attacks
- Misconfiguration/Configuration drift
- Malware
- Spyware
- Ransomware
- And many others
The better an organization is at minimizing its risk profile, responding to potential threats, and adhering to security compliance standards, the more robust the security posture is.
