The Essential Eight is a comprehensive cybersecurity framework from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (The Australian Government), comprising eight mitigation strategies. These include measures like application whitelisting, patching, user application hardening, and multi-factor authentication. By implementing these strategies, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats, fortifying their resilience, safeguarding sensitive information, and maintaining operational continuity. This guide is crucial for proactively managing and mitigating cybersecurity risks in today’s dynamic business environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Layered Security stands out as superior to the Essential Eight due to its holistic and diversified approach to cybersecurity. By deploying a multitude of defence measures across various levels of an organisation’s IT infrastructure, Layered Security creates a robust and intricate defence system. This comprehensive strategy incorporates tools like application defence, application patching, e-mail filtering, password management systems, multi-factor authentication, operating system patching, endpoint detection & response, frequent backups that are validated, and continuous monitoring of the environment to detect and respond to attacks, forming a complex set of layers of defences that makes it challenging for attackers to breach all layers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Unlike the Essential Eight’s focused approach, Layered Security provides a broader and more adaptable defence, considering the evolving nature of cyber threats and offering a more resilient shield against a wide array of potential risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
