Mission
CIS a non-profit that safeguards organizations against cyber threats.
About
Security best practices combines both the security benchmarks and critical security controls programs. The security benchmarks program helps organizations improve their IT security posture by reducing risks resulting from inadequate technical security controls. To accomplish this, the security benchmarks program facilitates the consensus-based development of: (1) best practice standards for security configuration, (2) tools for measuring information security status, and (3) resources for making informed security investment decisions. The critical security controls program is a recommended set of actions for cyber defense that provide specific and actionable ways to thwart the most pervasive attacks. They are a relatively short list of high-priority, highly effective defensive actions that provide a 'must do, do first' starting point for every enterprise seeking to improve their cyber defense.
