CIS (Center for Internet Security)
Creating Confidence in the Connected World
CIS is a nonprofit organization that develops cybersecurity best practices, including the widely adopted CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks, to help public and private organizations defend against cyber threats. It operates the MS-ISAC, a community defense network providing real-time threat intelligence and 24/7 security operations support for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. CIS also offers tools like CIS SecureSuite and CIS-CAT Pro to help organizations evaluate and maintain secure IT configurations.
CIS publishes vendor-agnostic configuration guidelines and controls developed by a global IT community, and provides tools and community networks to help organizations apply and monitor these best practices.
