20 Critical Security Controls V2.0

I was away when this was released but it is a very valuable read. From the introduction:

“This consensus document of 20 crucial controls is designed to begin the process of establishing that prioritized baseline of information security measures and controls. The consensus effort that has produced this document has identified 20 specific technical security controls that are viewed as effective in blocking currently known high-priority attacks, as well as those attack types expected in the near future. Fifteen of these controls can be monitored, at least in part, automatically and continuously. The consensus effort has also identified a second set of five controls that are essential but that do not appear to be able to be monitored continuously or automatically with current technology and practices. Each of the 20 control areas includes multiple individual subcontrols, each specifying actions an organization can take to help improve its defenses.”

20 things that will go a long way to helping ensure that your organizations critical information stays secure.
