This session introduces the CIS Security Best Practices, CIS Benchmarks, CIS Controls, and the CIS-CAT Pro tool, designed to help you secure your digital assets with confidence. Learn how CIS-CAT Pro can streamline security configuration by automatically assessing and aligning systems with CIS Benchmarks. As an example, we’ll provide a walkthrough of how CIS-CAT Pro evaluates system states and reports on alignment with a Microsoft Windows CIS Benchmark, making it easier than ever to enhance and maintain a strong security posture.
About CIS:
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a nonprofit organization focused on improving cybersecurity across the public and private sectors. CIS is renowned for its CIS Benchmarks—globally recognized, consensus-based standards and best practices for securing IT systems and data against cyber threats. These benchmarks cover various operating systems, applications, and network devices and are widely adopted as security configuration standards. CIS also develops the CIS Controls, a prioritized set of actions designed to mitigate the most prevalent cyberattacks.
What is CIS-CAT Pro?
The CIS-CAT Pro tool, or CIS Configuration Assessment Tool Professional, is a powerful security tool developed by CIS. It helps organizations automate the assessment of their systems against CIS Benchmarks, making it easier to implement and verify security settings. CIS-CAT Pro scans systems, identifies configuration weaknesses, and reports results of the comparison to CIS Benchmarks, providing a straightforward way to monitor and enhance security.
