Description: Unauthorized Changes refer to modifications made to systems or configurations without proper authorization. This concept is crucial in cloud security posture management, as such changes can compromise the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of data and services. In a cloud environment, where multiple users and applications interact, a lack of control over configurations can lead to significant vulnerabilities. Unauthorized changes can include anything from adjustments to security settings to the installation of unauthorized software, potentially resulting in security breaches or regulatory non-compliance. Identifying and managing these changes is essential for maintaining a robust security posture, ensuring that all modifications are reviewed and approved by relevant parties before implementation. This not only helps prevent security incidents but also facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance, allowing organizations to maintain effective control over their technology infrastructure.
