Introducing the Essential 8 

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) leads the Australian Government’s efforts to improve cyber security. The ACSC recommends all Australian organizations implement the Essential Eight mitigation strategies from the ACSC’s Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents as a baseline.

The baseline, known as the Essential Eight, are foundational cyber security measures that make it much harder for adversaries to compromise systems. The key mitigation strategies of Essential 8 are:

• Patch Applications
• Patch Operating Systems
• Multi-Factor Authentication
• Restrict Administrative Privileges
• Application Control
• Restrict Microsoft Office Macros
• User Application Hardening
• Regular Backups
