Cybercriminals are advancing threats and accelerating attacks. In response, organizations must increase controls and strengthen standards. A powerful resource in this fight is the Australian government “Essential 8.”

About the Essential 8

Patch applications
Patch operating systems
Enable multi-factor authentication
Restrict administrative privileges
Implement application control
Restrict Microsoft Office macros
Harden user applications
Perform regular backups
Implementing the Essential 8 is mandatory for all Australian government entities, departments, and agencies, along with organizations that conduct business with the Australian government. Generally, the strategies are strongly recommended for organizations worldwide to protect internet-connected information technology networks.
