Explanation

Change Management is a structured process for controlling modifications to systems, software, or infrastructure. Its primary security goal is to ensure that changes - patches, upgrades, configuration updates, new deployments - are reviewed, tested, and approved before going live so they do not inadvertently introduce new vulnerabilities or break existing controls. It is not about detecting vulnerabilities (that is vulnerability management), creating patches (that is patch development), or guaranteeing a vulnerability-free environment (which is an unrealistic absolute). Change Management minimizes risk by preventing uncontrolled or untested changes.
