The ASD Essential 8 is a set of cybersecurity measures developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), a government agency responsible for foreign signals intelligence and cybersecurity. The Essential 8 is a prioritized list of mitigation strategies that provide organizations with a basic level of protection against cyber threats. The eight measures include: Application Whitelisting, Patching Applications, Patching Operating Systems, Configuring Microsoft Office Macro Settings, User Application Hardening, Restricting Administrative Privileges, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Daily Backup.
