“Results that exceed expectation”
The Essential 8
Organisations are recommended to implement eight essential mitigation strategies from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). This baseline, known as the Essential Eight, makes it much harder for adversaries to compromise your system.
-
Prevent the execution of unapproved/malicious programs including .exe, DLL, scripts (e.g. Windows Script Host, PowerShell, and HTA), and installers. All non-approved applications (including malicious code) are prevented from executing.
-
Flash, web browsers, Microsoft Office, Java, and PDF viewers. Patch/mitigate computers with ‘extreme risk’ vulnerabilities within 48 hours. Use the latest version of applications. Security vulnerabilities in applications can be used to execute malicious code on systems.
-
Blocking macros from the internet, and only allowing vetted macros with limited write access or digitally signed with a trusted certificate reduces the delivery and execution of malicious code on systems.
-
Configure web browsers to block Flash (ideally uninstall it), ads, and Java on the internet. Disable unnecessary features in Microsoft Office (e.g. OLE), web browsers, and PDF viewers as these are popular ways to deliver and execute malicious code.
-
Set up operating systems and applications based on user duties. Regularly revalidate the need for privileges. User names and passwords with full admin privilege could be used to gain full access to information and systems.
-
Patching computers with vulnerabilities and using the latest operating system version eliminates known vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
-
The use of VPNs, RDP, SSH, and other remote access for all users when they perform a privileged action or access important data.
Stronger user authentication makes it harder for unauthorised persons to access sensitive information and systems.
-
Daily back-ups of important data, software and configuration settings should be stored for at least three months.
Testing restoration processes initially, annually, and when IT infrastructure changes.
This allows access to data and restoring access following any potential attack.
