Essential 8

The Essential 8 is a set of cybersecurity strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to help organisations protect their systems from cyber threats. The Essential 8 is divided into three key areas: Prevention, Limiting Impact, and Recovery. Implementation of the Essential 8 framework helps reduce the risk of cyberattacks like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches.

About Essential 8 Cybersecurity Framework

Implementation of the Essential 8 Framework in your organisation will reduce the risk of cyber-attacks, helping prevent malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. Essential 8 is regarded as a cost-effective cybersecurity framework as it provides a simple, structured approach without necessarily needing expensive security tools. Essential 8 is developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and is mandatory for doing business with some Australian government agencies. Essential 8 aligns with International Standards and is often seen as the first step into compliance with other frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, and PCI-DSS.
