The Price of Protection: Budgeting for Essential Cyber Hygiene (CIS IG1)
This episode explores the costs associated with implementing essential cyber hygiene as outlined by the CIS Critical Security Controls Implementation Group 1 (IG1). We delve into the different approaches enterprises can take – utilizing on-premises tools, leveraging Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), or partnering with Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Drawing on the guide's research, we discuss the types of tools and policies needed for the 10 areas of cyber defense, explore budgeting considerations for different enterprise sizes, and highlight how IG1 Safeguards can provide significant protection against common threats for a relatively low cost. Learn how to make informed and prioritized decisions to secure your enterprise, whether through owned infrastructure, outsourced services, or a hybrid approach.
