Master the most fundamental set of essential cyber hygiene controls. CIS Implementation Group 1 represents a minimum standard of information security necessary for every organization.

Course Overview

SEC366 is the starting point for implementing cybersecurity no matter how small your organization or team is. Small to medium size businesses and non-profits are not immune to threats, but may not have the budgets to create and maintain cybersecurity teams to defend against the ever-growing threat landscape. Most of these organizations have an employee who has been tasked with managing security, often with no background in security and no training. Every organization needs professionals who can maintain foundational cybersecurity with training in CIS Implementation Group 1.

What You’ll Learn

  • Apply initial security controls that are measurable, scalable, and reliable in stopping known attacks and protecting your organization's important information and systems
  • Understand the importance of each CIS IG1 control and the potential for security compromise if controls are ignored
  • Explain the defensive goals that result in quick wins and increased visibility of network and systems
  • Identify and use tools that automate your implementation of controls

Business Takeaways

  • Efficiently reduce the most important cyber-related risks
  • Align compliance requirements with security and business goals and solutions
  • Report the status of cybersecurity defense efforts to senior leadership in clear business terms
