CIS Control 14 concerns implementing and operating a program that improves the cybersecurity awareness and skills of employees. (Prior to CIS Critical Security Controls Version 8, this area was covered by CIS Control 17.) This control is important because a lack of security awareness among people inside your network can quickly lead to devastating data breaches, downtime, identity theft and other security issues.
The newly revised and renumbered Center for Internet Security (CIS) Control 11 highlights the need for backups, ensuring smooth and timely recovery of data in case of security breach or misconfiguration. In the current CIS Critical Security Controls (CSC) version 8 of CIS benchmarks, the data recovery control has been pushed ahead to 11. It was previously CIS Control 10 in version 7. CIS Control 11 is a vital player among the 18 cis controls CIS has formulated.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) provides a set of Critical Security Controls to help organizations improve cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. CIS Control 3 concerns ensuring data protection through data management for computers and mobile devices. Specifically, it details processes and technical controls to identify, classify, securely handle, retain and dispose of data.
CIS Critical Security Controls are powerful tools for helping enterprises assess their vulnerabilities, perform effective cybersecurity risk management, harden their security posture, and establish and maintain compliance with cybersecurity mandates. CIS Control 5 offers strategies to ensure your user, administrator and service accounts are properly managed.
