How CISOs Track Configuration Drift in Real Time | Misconfiguration & Cybersecurity Posture

How do CISOs feel about drift?

Misconfigurations rarely look like incidents. A setting shifts, posture weakens, and nothing announces it until it already matters.

That is a hard seat for whoever owns posture. Without a clear view of what changed, you are working secondhand, leaning on the team to tell you what moved and whether it hurt.

Nancy Phillips, CISO at Ensemble Health Partners, describes the other side. When she can see what a control was, what it changed to, and whether that helped or hurt, she answers for herself. An open port closing reads as a clear win. A risky edit gets caught early. In her words, she would rather learn to fish than fire-drill her team.

Reach surfaces the drift that matters and explains why, so the answer is right there instead of three Slack threads away.
