Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Configuration drift represents a significant challenge in modern computing environments where systems undergo frequent changes due to updates, administrative actions, and operational requirements. Such deviations from intended configurations can introduce vulnerabilities, compromise system integrity, and lead to non-compliance with established security standards. Traditional approaches rely on periodic scanning and manual remediation, resulting in delayed response and increased exposure to security risks. The present invention proposes a system and method for automated configuration drift detection and remediation based on predefined security baselines. The system continuously monitors system configurations, compares them against baseline values, and identifies deviations in real time. A modular architecture is employed, integrating detection, messaging, remediation, verification, and evidence collection components. Asynchronous communication is achieved using a message queue, enabling independent and efficient processing of drift events. Upon detecting configuration drift, the system automatically applies corrective actions to restore compliance. A snapshot mechanism ensures that system state can be restored in case of failure, while a verification module confirms the effectiveness of remediation. The system also records before-and-after states to provide auditability and traceability. The proposed approach enhances system reliability, reduces manual intervention, and provides a scalable solution for continuous security enforcement in dynamic computing environments.
