XCELIT's Fully Managed Essential 8 Cyber Security Service

Essential 8 Cyber Security is a series of Cyber Security strategies that when implemented make it much harder for adversaries to compromise systems. Essential 8 Cyber Security strategies include:

Application Control
Application Patching
Restricting Administrative Privileges
Patching Operating Systems
Configuring Microsoft Office Macro Settings
Undertaking Application Hardening
Multi-Factor Authentication
Undertaking Regular Backups
EDR or XDR for logging to report security incidents at endpoints
SIEM (SIEM-as-a-Service) for logging to report security incidents

Recommended Essential 8 Cyber Security strategies do change over time which is why there are currently 10 Essential 8 Cyber Security strategies listed. A more appropriate name may now be Cyber Security Essentials because this is in essence what the Essential 8 represents.

Businesses can assess their Cyber Security Maturity against alignment with the Essential 8 Cyber Security Strategies. Compliance with The Essential 8 Cyber Security strategies are set out as four maturity levels:

Zero: Not aligned
One: Partly aligned
Two: Mostly aligned
Three: Fully aligned

In our experience it is best for every organisation to aim for Essential 8 Cyber Security Maturity Level Two with SIEM as a minimum. Lower maturity levels invite challenge from Threat Actors.
