Looking to meet the standard of "reasonable" cyber defense but don't know how to do it on your own? A CIS SecureSuite® Membership can help guide you through the process!
In this webinar, we'll explain why the CIS Critical Security Controls® (CIS Controls®) can help your cyber defense program meet the standard of reasonableness. We'll also review the benefits, tools, and resources of a CIS SecureSuite Membership designed to help you save time and money implementing the Controls.
By watching this webinar, you'll learn:
- How you can use the Controls to comply with U.S. state data privacy laws and lay a foundation for effective cyber defense
- How you can use CIS CSAT Pro to track, plan out, and thereby formalize your organization's implementation of the Controls
- How CIS CSAT Pro can provide you with the documentation you need to demonstrate your cyber defense program meets the standard of reasonableness
