Establish a solid security foundation with automated basic controls.
Automatically discover and track authorized and unauthorized devices.
Continuously scan and patch systems to close security gaps.
Automatically discover, inventory, and manage all hardware and software across your network. Tools like AssetExplorer and Endpoint Central provide complete, real-time visibility into authorized and unauthorized systems, perfectly aligning with the initial CIS Safeguards.
Prevent data leakage and harden security configurations across your infrastructure. Leverage Network Configuration Manager for baseline compliance, and DataSecurity Plus to identify and classify sensitive information, shrinking your attack surface.
Secure the most critical pathways into your organization. Solutions like PAM360 and ADManager Plus rigorously enforce least privilege protocols and manage administrative credentials, neutralizing the risks associated with compromised passwords.
Continuously assess security gaps, deploy critical patches, and analyze audit logs. Vulnerability Manager Plus actively remediates flaws before exploitation, while Log360 provides enterprise SIEM capabilities to detect threats and automate incident response.
The CIS Controls are a prioritized set of actionable cyber defense best practices developed by a global community of IT experts. They offer organizations a clear, prescriptive path to establish foundational hygiene and defend against the most common and dangerous cyberattacks.
Version 8 of the CIS Controls simplifies implementation by categorizing 153 technical safeguards into three Implementation Groups (IGs). Organizations begin with foundational hygiene in IG1 and progressively advance to IG3 based on their risk exposure, internal resources, and cybersecurity maturity.
Implementing the CIS Controls provides a powerful security foundation that maps directly to other complex frameworks. By adhering to CIS best practices, organizations can significantly streamline their efforts to demonstrate compliance with standards like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.
