What Is the Essential 8 as Defined by the ACSC?

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents is a prioritised list of practical actions organisations can take to make their computers more secure. The advantage of this guidance is that it is customisable to each organisation based on their risk profile and the threats they are most concerned about.

Implementing the ACSC Essential 8 effectively helps you achieve a baseline cybersecurity posture – a level that would have prevented the success of high-profile attacks such as WannaCry and NotPetya. While this sounds straightforward, many companies still struggle to achieve this level of security today.

In this whitepaper, we discuss the importance of each control that makes up the Essential 8, the pitfalls companies fall into with each, and Ivanti’s approach to solving these problems.
