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.
