Code repositories are a common source of unintentional corporate credential leakage, especially in cloud environments. Developers may accidentally commit and push sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, and other credentials, to public or poorly secured repositories. These credentials can then be accessed by unauthorized users, leading to security breaches. Ensuring that repositories are properly secured and that sensitive data is never committed is critical for protecting against this type of leakage.

Detective controls (such as audit logs, monitoring, and alerts) are specifically designed to identify and reveal unauthorized or malicious activity, including insider manipulation, in systems like payroll. These controls help ensure that any attempts to manipulate data are discovered and investigated.

TheCommon Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)is astandardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities. It provides a numerical score (0-10) based on factors such asexploitability, impact, and complexity, helping security analystsprioritize remediation efforts based on risk.

Business impact analysis (A)helps identifycritical business functionsbut does not specificallyprioritize vulnerabilities.

Risk register (C)tracks identified risks but does not classify vulnerabilities.

Exposure factor (D)is used inquantitative risk assessmentbut is not an industry standard for vulnerability prioritization.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)enables automated provisioning and configuration of infrastructure, making environmentsrepeatable, consistent, and scalable. The ability tobetter manage and replicate configurations (B)ensures that security settings are not missed and reduces misconfigurations.

According to theCompTIA Security+ SY0-701exam objectives underDomain 4.1 (Explain the security implications of different architecture models),IaCprovides the ability to"automatically enforce security controls"and manageconsistent configuration states, reducing human error.
