CIS Benchmarks

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a non-profit enterprise whose mission is to help organizations reduce the risk of business and e-commerce disruptions resulting from inadequate technical security controls. The practical CIS Benchmarks support available high level standards that deal with the "Why, Who, When, and Where" aspects of IT security by detailing "How" to secure an ever widening array of workstations, servers, network devices, and software applications in terms of technology specific controls. CIS Benchmarks enumerate security configuration settings and actions that "harden" your systems. They are unique, not because the settings and actions are unknown to any security specialist, but because consensus among hundreds of security professionals worldwide has defined these particular configurations.
 
The CIS Benchmarks are available for download free of charge to the Internet community from the web site: http://www.cisecurity.org/.

Note: During the download, you will need to provide the Name, Email, Organization and Benchmark Package.
