Valeo Networks can help your company reduce risk and exposure with a turnkey cybersecurity solution that will align your risk profile with your budgetary and business needs.
The combination of CIS Controls and the Benchmarks are the global standard for securing IT systems and data. Your business can greatly reduce risk and exposure to cyber hacking by implementing these best practices from the CIS Top 20. The IT community continuously reviewsĪnd verifies these guidelines to combat evolving cybersecurity challenges. That are most vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
The use of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology combined with a Security Operations Center (SOC) can provide an invaluable a window to what is happening on your network.ĬIS Benchmarks are a set of technical guidelinesįor hardening operating systems, software applications, and network devices This will help your team detect future attacks, understand how they happened, and recover from a breach. This security control has to do with collecting, managing, and analyzing the details of a security event or anomaly that occurred on a network and captured in an audit log. Security control number six includes maintenance, monitoring, and analysis of audit logs. Is secure configuration and control for hardware and software on mobileĭevices, laptops, and workstations that uses baselines from the CIS benchmarks. Additionally, systems shouldīe configured to provide an alert for any changes to administrative privileges.
