A secure baseline is a standardized configuration that defines the minimum required security settings for systems. Baselines ensure consistent hardening across devices and reduce vulnerabilities from default or misconfigured settings.
MDM is a solution that allows organizations to manage, monitor, and enforce security policies on mobile devices. It enables remote wipe, application control, and configuration management for corporate and BYOD devices.
Asset management tracks all hardware, software, and digital resources throughout their lifecycle. It ensures visibility into what exists in the environment, reducing risk from unmanaged or shadow assets.
Hardening techniques include disabling unnecessary services, applying security patches, enforcing least privilege access, removing default accounts, enabling logging, and using endpoint protection tools.
Application whitelisting restricts execution to only pre-approved programs. It prevents unauthorized or malicious software from running, even if it finds a way onto a system through an attack or user error.
