Hi,

Yes, I agree with your message.
Please provide detailed information if you have any problems.

Yes it is,

Your statement refers to a usual situations where security policies are working improperly. This misconfiguration can result multiple issues like

As concern overly restrictive policy, this cases the settings are configured in such a way that they excessively limit access or functionality. This can lead to legitimate users facing difficulties in performing their tasks due to unnecessary restrictions.

On the other hand, if security policies are configured inadequately, they may not provide sufficient protection against potential threats. This could mean that critical resources are left exposed, allowing unauthorized access or activities that compromise the security of the system or network.

In summary, the incorrect configuration of security policies can manifest as either overly restrictive measures that impede normal operations or insufficient protection that leaves systems vulnerable to potential security threats. Achieving the right balance in security policy configuration is crucial to ensuring both the safety of the system and the unhindered functionality for authorized users.

Hi, besides to what you are using (NGAF,IAM,ecc) it's important to identify what you have to protect and where your users in your environment can go safely. After that it's up to you to create specific rules to achieve this

Not sure if you have concerns or this is just a suggestion but in any case, addressing incorrectly configured security policies is crucial for maintaining a robust and effective security posture. Whether policies are too restrictive or insufficient, it can leave systems vulnerable to various threats.

Farina Ahmed Lv5 Posted Dec-30-2023 18:02

Incorrectly configured security policies can result in two critical scenarios: overly restrictive measures or insufficient protection. Overly restrictive policies might excessively limit legitimate access, hindering workflow and productivity. On the flip side, inadequate policies can expose systems to vulnerabilities, leaving them susceptible to cyber threats or unauthorized access. Achieving the right balance is crucial, ensuring that security measures neither impede legitimate operations nor leave systems exposed, requiring a meticulous and dynamic approach to policy creation, implementation, and regular reviews to adapt to evolving security landscapes and organizational needs.
