CIS Control #5: Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges
CIS Control 5 emphasizes the importance of minimizing administrative privileges to reduce the risk of account compromise. By enforcing least privilege access, separating admin duties from everyday tasks, and implementing strong authentication practices, organizations can significantly limit the damage potential of compromised accounts and improve their overall security posture.
CIS Control #2: Inventory of Authorized & Unauthorized Software
CIS Control 2 emphasizes the importance of maintaining an up-to-date inventory of all authorized and unauthorized software. Software changes rapidly, and without visibility into what’s installed across your network, you risk exposing your organization to vulnerabilities, malware, and compliance violations. Tracking versions, restricting unauthorized installations, and establishing a baseline of approved software are essential steps in protecting against evolving threats.
CIS Control #4: Vulnerability Assessment & Remediation
CIS Control 4 highlights the critical need for continuous vulnerability assessment and remediation. By proactively scanning for software flaws, misconfigurations, and outdated systems—and rapidly deploying patches—organizations can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks and maintain a strong, secure IT environment.
CIS Control #1: Inventory of Authorized & Unauthorized Devices
CIS Control 1 focuses on establishing and maintaining an accurate inventory of all authorized and unauthorized devices across your network. Without clear visibility into what’s connected, organizations are vulnerable to unknown endpoints, misconfigurations, and security gaps. A well-maintained device inventory forms the foundation for every other cybersecurity control and is essential to identifying rogue devices, enforcing security policies, and responding to threats with speed and confidence.
CIS Control #3: Establish Secure Configurations
CIS Control 3 emphasizes the importance of secure configuration management for all hardware and software assets. Default settings are rarely secure—by implementing hardened configurations, disabling unnecessary services, and standardizing system images, organizations can reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and maintain consistency across their environment.
