Security News > 2022 > April > Cyber defense: Prioritized by real-world threat data

The CIS Controls are a set of 18 prioritized actions and 153 defensive measures known as Safeguards.

The CIS Community Defense Model v2.0 was created to help answer that and other questions about the value of the Controls based on threat data from leading industry reports.

At CIS, we understand that not all enterprises will be able to perform this type of analysis on their own, which is why we created the Community Defense Model in the first place.

For each of the five most prevalent attack types, such as ransomware, we collect the corresponding attack patterns, then track which CIS Safeguards defend against each technique found in those patterns.

The findings from CDM v2.0 both reaffirmed and strengthened, with objective data, what we already thought to be true-that CIS Controls IG1 provides a viable cyber defense against the top five attacks.
