Application Whitelisting

Prevent unauthorised applications from running on your network by only allowing trusted software. 

  • Implement application whitelisting policies to block harmful or unverified applications. 
  • Continuously update and maintain the whitelist to ensure only approved applications are allowed to execute. 

Patch Management & Vulnerability Mitigation

Regularly patch systems and applications to ensure vulnerabilities are addressed promptly. 

  • Automate patching processes for operating systems and applications. 
  • Monitor and remediate vulnerabilities identified across your infrastructure. 

User Application Hardening

 Secure user applications and prevent exploits by applying best practices for securing applications. 

  • Disable unnecessary or risky features that may expose applications to threats. 
  • Configure settings to minimise vulnerabilities in common business applications. 

Restricting Administrative Privileges

Limit administrative access to essential users and use least privilege policies to reduce risk. 

  • Ensure only authorised personnel can access systems with elevated privileges. 
  • Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts. 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Enforce MFA to add an additional layer of security when accessing systems and sensitive data. 

  • Apply MFA across all critical applications and systems, including Microsoft 365 and other cloud services. 
  • Implement adaptive policies to determine when MFA is required based on user risk. 

Regular Backups and Data Recovery

Ensure data is regularly backed up and can be quickly recovered in case of a cyber incident. 

  • Establish regular backup schedules and test recovery procedures to ensure they work effectively. 
  • Store backups in secure, geographically diverse locations. 

Security Awareness Training

Educate employees about common cyber threats, phishing attacks, and best practices for maintaining security. 

  • Conduct regular training sessions to raise awareness and reduce the likelihood of user-caused breaches. 
  • Implement simulated phishing exercises to test employee preparedness. 

Incident Response & Monitoring

Have a clear incident response plan in place to identify and respond to cyber threats rapidly.

Questions about Essential 8 Security Controls?

The Essential 8 Security Controls are a set of eight best practices recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to protect businesses from common cyber threats, including malware, phishing, and data breaches. 

By implementing these controls, your organisation can reduce the risk of cyber-attacks, safeguard sensitive data, improve compliance with regulatory standards, and enhance overall cybersecurity resilience. 

While Essential 8 significantly reduces the risk of common cyber threats, it is one component of a broader cybersecurity strategy. Continuous monitoring, employee training, and regular updates are necessary to maintain a secure environment. 

The Essential 8 is specifically designed to help businesses comply with Australian data privacy regulations such as the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) by enforcing strong data protection practices across your organisation. 

The implementation of Essential 8 Security Controls can be streamlined with Kloudify’s expertise. We help organisations assess their security needs, develop a strategy, and deploy the controls efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
