Description: Infrastructure security refers to the measures taken to protect the components of infrastructure from threats and vulnerabilities. This includes the protection of hardware, software, networks, and data that form the foundation of information systems. Infrastructure security is crucial in a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent. Organizations must implement robust strategies that include risk identification, security control implementation, and continuous monitoring of their systems. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration as Code (CaC) are practices that allow managing and provisioning infrastructure through code, facilitating automation and consistency in implementing security measures. These practices enable development and operations teams to collaborate more effectively, ensuring that security is integrated from the beginning of the software development lifecycle. Infrastructure security not only focuses on protecting systems but also on resilience, ensuring that organizations can quickly recover from security incidents and maintain business continuity.
