New software and assets introduced into your network are, by default, configured to be multifunctional and convenient to use, but they’re not always the most secure. IT teams also make constant changes to systems’ configurations, leading to inevitable security gaps. Maintaining secure configurations in assets and software is essential for organizations that want to avoid potential cyberattacks or face costly audit penalties.
The CIS Benchmarks, developed by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), provide prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure baseline configuration for assets. They are the only consensus-based best practice guides for configurations developed by a global community of cybersecurity professionals and experts from every role and sector and accepted by governments, businesses, industries, and academia. Additionally, configuration recommendations detailed in PCI DSS, HIPPA, FISMA, and other regulatory frameworks align with and point to the CIS Benchmarks as the definitive standard.
