Provisioning Security
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The protection of account, device, certificate, and system provisioning processes so new resources are created with correct permissions, trusted configuration, and verified identity. Weak provisioning security can introduce long-lived errors at the very start of an asset's lifecycle.
In plain English: Securing the process of setting up new accounts, devices, or systems.
Example: "The breach stemmed from provisioning security failure: a new service account was created with admin rights by default and never reviewed."
