You might not have knowledge of cloud security best practices, in-house expertise, or the desire to spend significant resources towards cloud security management.

The CIS Controls consist of prescriptive, prioritized, and simplified security best practices that you can use to strengthen your cybersecurity posture across your environments, including in the cloud.

The CIS Controls v8 Cloud Companion Guide provides context around how each Control applies not only to the cloud but also to individual service models, what your responsibility looks like for a Control within applicable service models, and what products, tools, and threat information you need to consider.

The CIS Foundations Benchmarks are designed to help you create foundational security in the cloud by focusing on three essential areas: identity and access management, logging and monitoring, and networking.

From there, you can take additional efforts to holistically secure your could environment using the CIS Cloud Service Category Benchmarks, like the CIS AWS Compute Services Benchmark.

The CIS Controls, CIS Benchmarks, and CIS Hardened Images all can help you secure the cloud via the applications we discussed above.
