What are the CIS Critical Security Controls?

The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls®) help people and enterprises focus their attention and get started on the most important steps to defend themselves from the attacks that really mattered.

Led by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), the CIS Controls have matured into an international community of volunteer individuals and institutions that:

  • Share insights into attacks and attackers, identify root causes, and translate that into classes of defensive action

  • Create and share tools, working aids, and stories of adoption and problem-solving

  • Map the CIS Controls to regulatory and compliance frameworks in order to ensure alignment and bring collective priority and focus to them

  • Identify common problems and barriers (like initial assessment and implementation roadmaps), and solve them as a community

By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of the cybersecurity controls recommended by CIS, the importance of implementation groups and possible tools to consider for each safeguard. This knowledge will help in improving security within your organisation.

  • Beginner Cybersecurity to experienced professionals wanting to learn or get an update on the latest version of the CIS Controls
