Gold Image Definition: Preconfigured secure system image used for standard deployments.
A Gold Image is a preconfigured template of an operating system or software environment that includes all necessary settings, patches, and security controls. These images are used for rapid and standardized deployment of systems across an organization. Maintaining a secure, updated gold image ensures consistency, reduces configuration errors, and improves security posture by embedding baseline controls before deployment.
