What is CIS?
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. Click Here to learn more about CIS's mission.
CIS members develop and encourage the widespread use of security configuration benchmarks through a global consensus process involving participants from the public and private sectors.
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 Scoring Tools analyze and report system compliance with the technical control settings in the Benchmarks.
The CIS Benchmarks and Scoring Tools are available for download free of charge to the Internet community from this web site.
Why a Center for Internet Security
The Center strives to reduce the frequency of failures and attacks, and the losses that arise from them. The mission of the Center is to help organizations around the world effectively manage the organizational risks related to information security by providing them with methods and tools to improve, measure, monitor, and compare the security status of their own Internet-connected systems and appliances plus those of their business partners.
The Center is not tied to any proprietary product or service. It manages a consensus process whereby members will articulate security threats that concern them, followed by prioritization and development of benchmarks and accreditation methodologies to reduce the threats of concern to members. The consensus process is already in use and has proved viable in creating widely adopted Internet security practices.
