Essential 8 Explained
And How We Can Help
The Australian Government's Essential 8 strategies help businesses protect their systems from cyber threats. Implementing all eight strategies significantly enhances your security, making it harder for adversaries to breach your systems and saving you time and money in the long run.
Application Control
What is it? Application Control ensures only approved applications and software can run, blocking anything else.
Why you need it - Prevents malicious software from executing. This reduces the attack surface of systems and prevents unapproved applications from running.
Configure Microsoft Office Marco Settings
What is it? Restrict the use of macros in Microsoft Office to prevent malicious code execution.
Why you need it - Macros can be used to spread malware. Limiting their use to trusted and digitally signed macros helps prevent attacks on your environment.
User Application Hardening
What is it? Configure applications to reduce their vulnerability to attacks.
Why you need it - Weak applications can be exploited. Hardening applications reduces the risk of security breaches by disabling or removing features that can be misused.
Restrict Administrative Privileges
What is it? Limits the use of accounts with administrative privileges.
Why you need it - Administrative accounts can cause significant damage if compromised. Restricting these privileges limits potential damage and access.
Patch Operating Systems
What is it? Regularly update operating systems to fix security vulnerabilities.
Why you need it - Unpatched systems are vulnerable to attacks. Keeping your operating systems updated closes known security gaps and reduces exposure to threats.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
What is it? Implement MFA to provide an additional layer of security.
Why you need it - It enhances security by adding an extra layer of protection, making it more difficult for attackers to gain unauthorised access.
