BrandPost: The CIS Benchmarks Community Consensus Process

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) recently celebrated 20 years of bringing confidence to the connected world with consensus-based security guidance. The first CIS Benchmark was released in 2000. Today, there are more than 100 CIS Benchmarks configuration guidelines across 25+ product vendor families. Without community participation, we would not have CIS Benchmarks, as the community is at the heart of what drives development and consensus across industries and technologies.

What is a CIS Benchmark?

CIS Benchmarks cover operating systems, servers, cloud, mobile devices, desktop software, and network devices. The PDF versions are available to download at no cost from the CIS website, and additional file formats (XCCDF, Word, Excel, etc.) are available to CIS SecureSuite Members.
