Assess your organisation against the ACSC
Essential Eight.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has developed prioritised mitigation strategies, in the form of the Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents, to help organisations protect themselves against various cyber threats. The most effective of these mitigation strategies are the Essential Eight.
Organisations that supply to the South Australian Government have been invited to report their Cyber Security preparedness against the ACSC Essential Eight. The State is committed to working with suppliers to help them implement better cybersecurity for their business and:
1
Improve the security and resilience of their business
2
Engender a culture of cybersecurity awareness across the business community
3
Reduce the risk to the State of cybersecurity attacks in the supply chain
If you are in the SA Government Supply Chain or want to be, you will need to ensure you have reviewed your Essential Eight Cyber Maturity
Wireless Communications can assist you with an Essential Eight Maturity review and the implementation of solutions to mitigate risk.
Essential Eight Design
The Essential Eight are designed to protect Microsoft Windows-based internet-connected networks. While the Essential Eight may be applied to cloud services and enterprise mobility, or other operating systems, it was not primarily designed for such purposes and alternative mitigation strategies may be more appropriate to mitigate unique cyber threats to these environments. In such cases, organisations should consider alternative guidance provided by the ACSC.
Maturity Model
The Essential Eight Maturity Model, first published in June 2017 and updated regularly, supports the implementation of the Essential Eight. It is based on the ACSC’s experience in producing cyber threat intelligence, responding to cyber security incidents, conducting penetration testing, and assisting organisations to implement the Essential Eight.
