Change Management is designed to ensure that changes to IT services are properly planned, tested, and implemented. This helps to minimize the risk of introducing vulnerabilities and new attack surfaces. By following a structured change management process, organizations can ensure that changes are properly tested and that any potential risks are identified and addressed before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.
