Security News > 2021 > December > Foundational cloud security with CIS Benchmarks
The CIS Foundations Benchmarks are a part of the family of cybersecurity standards managed by CIS. CIS Benchmarks are consensus-based, vendor-agnostic secure configuration guidelines for the most commonly used systems and technologies.
The CIS Foundations Benchmarks are intended for system and application administrators, security specialists, auditors, help desk, platform deployment, and/or DevOps personnel who plan to develop, deploy, assess, or secure solutions in the cloud.
The CIS Foundations Benchmarks are part of a portfolio of globally-recognized resources provided by CIS to help organizations secure their operations in public cloud environments.
The CIS Controls Cloud Companion Guide provides guidance on how to apply the security best practices found in the CIS Controls to the four main "As-a-service" cloud environments.
CIS Hardened Images are pre-configured virtual machine images hardened in accordance to the security recommendations of CIS Benchmarks.
We will continue to release product-level CIS Benchmarks across the CSPs, while continuing to expand the CIS Foundations Benchmarks.
