CIS Benchmark Hardening/Vulnerability Checklists
The Center for Internet Security is the primary recognized industry-standard for secure configuration guidance, developing comprehensive, consensus-derived checklists to help identify and mitigate known security vulnerabilities across a wide range of platforms.
Each CIS Benchmark provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for your IT Infrastructure, including a detailed description and rationale of potential vulnerabilities together with clear auditing and remediation steps. As such, the CIS Benchmarks are the overwhelming option of choice for auditors worldwide when advising organizations on the adoption of a secure build standard for any governance and security initiative, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, SOX, FISMA, ISO/IEC 27002, Graham Leech Bliley and ITIL.
Note: NNT is also an Official OVAL Adopter and can equally utilize any 3rd party source of SCAP, OVAL or XCCDF content, for example DISA STIG checklists.
As one of a handful of CIS Certified Vendors, NNT has a broad range of CIS Benchmark reports which can be used to audit enterprise networks and then monitor continuously for any drift from your hardened build standard, to ensure systems stay within compliance 24/7.
