Description: When deciding on how to implement Security for your business, it is critical to adopt a risk management framework, and there are many which often vary by industry. The Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre has published the Essential Eight, outlining recommendations for Cyber Security Risk Mitigation.
What is the Essential 8? The Essential 8 (E8) is a prioritised subset of 'Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents', outlining the eight most essential mitigation strategies. This baseline has been created to allow organisations, particularly small to medium businesses to focus on improving security controls to reduce the risk of a cybersecurity incident occurring.
