Security Posture Drift
Definition
Security posture drift occurs when cloud infrastructure configuration deviates from approved security baselines over time due to manual changes, automated provisioning without proper guardrails, or configuration changes that bypass IaC workflows. CSPM tools detect drift by continuously comparing actual cloud resource configurations against expected state.
Immutable infrastructure patterns and GitOps workflows reduce drift by ensuring all changes are code-reviewed and applied through automated pipelines.
