Baseline: A reference point or standard against which the performance or status of a system or process can be measured. It is commonly used in project management, quality control, and performance monitoring to establish a baseline for comparison and to identify deviations or improvements. Examples of baselines in IT include the baseline configuration of a server or network device, the baseline performance of a system or application, and the baseline security posture of an organization.
