IT Giveth, Security Taketh: The Hidden Cost of Configuration Drift
“IT giveth. Security taketh.”
A topic examined in a print interview with Colt Blackmore, co-founder & CTO of Reach Security, written by Dan Raywood at Security Boulevard:
☑︎ The long-standing friction between IT enablement and security restriction
☑︎ Configuration drift as the quiet divergence between intended and actual state
☑︎ How incremental change accumulates into measurable risk
☑︎ The challenge of maintaining alignment in complex, fast-moving environments
☑︎ Why drift often remains invisible until consequences surface
The full interview explores the operational reality behind drift and its impact on modern security teams.
