CIS/Benchmark

• CIS Benchmarks

  • Community-developed secure configuration guidelines published by the Center for Internet Security.
  • They provide prescriptive hardening recommendations across operating systems, cloud platforms, containers, network devices, web browsers, databases, mobile devices, and server software.
  • Benchmark profile levels:
    • Level 1 is intended as a practical baseline with limited operational impact.
    • Level 2 adds stricter controls for environments with higher security requirements.
