New research from Reach Security finds that 97% of organizations experienced security incidents or near misses tied to misconfigured security tools in the past year.
As environments grow more complex, configuration drift—the gap between intended and actual system states—is becoming a persistent risk. Most organizations still rely on manual reviews and periodic audits, leading to delayed remediation and extended exposure.
The findings point to a shift toward continuous validation, as security teams look to keep pace with constant change across modern infrastructure.
