Cyber security
Privacy
Public sector

The CIS18 critical security controls cover the different fields of cyber security, including vulnerability management, secure configuration, access control, incident management and more. It is a comprehensive set of instructions and measures released by The Center for Internet Security. The controls are designed to fix and prevent common vulnerabilities and to offer organizations a structured way to strengthen their security.

The CIS18 controls were formerly known as the SANS Critical Security Controls (SANS Top 20), and the current version 8.1 is updated to align with the evolving industry standards and cyber security threats. The controls are a prescriptive, prioritized, and simplified set of best practices that any organization can use to strengthen their security measures.

CyberFundamentals (Belgium)
Cyber security
Privacy
Public sector

The CyberFundamentals framework is created by Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium. It provides a set of concrete measures to protect your data, significantly reduce the risk of the most common cyber-attacks, and increase your organisation's cyber resilience. The framework is based on:

  • Four commonly used cybersecurity frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001 / ISO 27002, CIS Controls and IEC 62443)
  • Anonymized historical data of successful cyber-attacks. Through retro-fitting, we are able to assess what percentage of past attacks the measures of the Framework will protect you against.
  • The Cyberfundamentals are structured in 4 levels, with a subsequent level containing a little more measures than the previous one each time. A beginner level Small, followed by Basic, Important and Essential. The Essential level contains all the basic information security mesures from previous ones and introduces more advanced controls. The essential level is in line with the NIS2 directive.

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has updated the widely used Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). The new 2.0 edition is designed to help all organizations in any sector to achieve their cybersecurity goals with added emphasis on governance as well as supply chains. The updated framework anticipates that organizations will come to the framework with varying needs and degrees of experience implementing cybersecurity tools.

    The 2.0 update is the organization's first major update on their widely used cyber security framework since its release. This update is the outcome of a multiyear process of discussions and public comments aimed at making the framework more effective and suitable for all audiences, industry sectors and organization types while as the original CSF focused directly on the critical sector. The framework’s core is now organized around six key functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, along with CSF 2.0’s newly added Govern function. When considered together, these functions provide a comprehensive view of the life cycle for managing cybersecurity risk.
