Security News > 2021 > November > Secure cloud products and services with new CIS Benchmarks
This effort resulted in CIS Benchmarks specific to cloud CSP products and services.
The product-level CIS Benchmarks complement the CIS Foundations Benchmarks by providing an additional layer of security built into the cloud services used within the cloud account.
The first release of a cloud product-level CIS Benchmark is the CIS AWS End User Compute Services Benchmark.
An example of the standalone cloud service CIS Benchmarks are the CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks.
CIS Hardened Images meet the requirements of the CIS Benchmarks, and are available on four major cloud computing marketplaces: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud.
With these cloud guides, CIS demonstrates the relationship between the CIS Benchmarks and the CSP documentation.
