Essential 8 Consulting and Managed Services
Plan, implement and manage the Essential 8 mitigation strategies.
About the Essential 8
The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) developed a series of prioritised mitigation strategies to help organisations protect against cyber threats. The most effective of these strategies is the Essential 8.
Essential 8 mitigation strategies include:
Implement application control
Patch applications
Configure Microsoft Office macro settings
Harden user applications
Restrict administrative privileges
Patch operating systems
Use multi-factor authentication
Conduct regular backups
They are not a compliance requirement but a guide for best practices in security, and can be used to establish a security baseline and plan for improvement. This gives you assurance that you have in place the most important features and controls needed to protect your organisation.
