What is the Essential Eight?

The Essential Eight is a set of mitigation strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to address common cyber threats. These strategies serve as a baseline for cyber security preparedness and can be applied to various Australian organisations, regardless of their size or industry.

1

Application Patching

Apply security patches to applications promptly to fix known vulnerabilities.

2

Operating System Patching

 Apply OS security patches quickly to close exploitable gaps.

3

Multi-factor Authentication

 Require MFA for all users to strengthen access security.

4

Restrict Administrative Privileges

Limit admin access to those who need it and review regularly.

5

Application Control

Only allow approved applications to run to prevent malicious software execution.

6

Restrict Microsoft Office Macros

Block macros from the internet and restrict macro use to trusted sources.

7

User Application Hardening

Disable unnecessary features (e.g., Flash, ads, Java) to reduce the attack surface.

8

Regular Backups

Perform and verify daily backups to ensure data recovery and availability.
