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.
