Configuration management plays a key role in vulnerability management by maintaining a record of the current and historical configurations of systems and applications. This allows an organization to understand what has changed over time, which is crucial when it comes to identifying misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities. By keeping an accurate and up-to-date configuration inventory, organizations can more effectively manage their security posture, assess potential risks, and ensure that any applied patches or changes do not introduce new vulnerabilities.
