What is the CIS security framework?


The CIS Security Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines created by the Center for Internet Security (CIS) to help organizations secure their IT systems and networks. The framework provides guidance on how to protect against cyber threats and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It also provides a comprehensive set of security controls and procedures to help organizations identify, mitigate, and respond to cyber threats.

The CIS Security Framework is organized into four main areas:

1. Asset Management: This area focuses on identifying, managing, and protecting organizational assets, including hardware, software, and data.

2. Access Control: This area focuses on controlling access to organizational assets, including user authentication, authorization, and privilege management.

3. Network Security: This area focuses on protecting organizational networks from unauthorized access and malicious activity.

4. System and Application Security: This area focuses on protecting organizational systems and applications from malicious activity and unauthorized access.

The CIS Security Framework is designed to be comprehensive and comprehensive enough to be used by organizations of all sizes and in all industries. It is also designed to be flexible and customizable, so organizations can tailor it to meet their specific needs.
