CIS Top 20 Critical Controls

Putting these security controls into practice is not a frivolous venture. Unprotected organizations are at risk of malware, ransomware, spyware, and DDos attacks that can hamper business productivity for days or weeks by loosing crucial access and sensitive data, both of which may never be re-attainable without a cyber protection plan. Implementing these basic security practices within your organization could vastly reduce your cyber exposure and eliminate these basic threats.

Most of the top 20 CIS Critical Controls can be implemented using Elemental's ESP solution, check details below:
