How to Measure Configuration Drift (And Why Alerts Get Ignored)
Configuration drift isn’t just “change.” It’s unmanaged change. Let's get practical about how teams should actually measure drift: ⇢ What type of change occurred⇢ How often those changes happen⇢ How critical they are in real context⇢ And—most importantly—how teams respond Volume alone isn’t the metric that matters. If changes pile up without response, alerts get ignored—and drift quietly becomes exposure.
