Description
Uncontrolled, untested, or unmanaged changes can result in an unreliable security posture. All software libraries related to E-mail services must be reviewed, considered, and the responsibility for Configuration Management (CM) assigned to ensure that no libraries or configurations are left unaddressed. This is true even if CM responsibilities appear to cross organizational boundaries.
