What is the Essential Eight?

You need to take effective steps to protect your business against data breaches. We understand that complete protection against all emerging threats is not possible. However, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) recommends implementing eight essential mitigation strategies to protect Microsoft Windows-based, internet-connected networks against various cyber threats. These strategies prevent malware, ensure data recovery, and reduce cyber incidents. At CyberAgency, we assist organisations with implementing the Essential Eight to keep their data safe.

    Know the 4 Maturity Levels

    The Australian Signals Directorate has defined four maturity levels (0 through 3) to help organisations implement the Essential Eight in a graduated manner. Except for Maturity Level 0, the maturity levels are based on increasing levels of tradecraft (i.e., tools, tactics, techniques, and procedures) and targeting.

    CyberAgency offers implementation of Essential 8 Maturity Levels 1–3. Each includes different levels of security, from common sense to a high priority level. We identify and plan for a target maturity level suitable for your environment. The key inclusions of our services are a review and uplift of your Office 365 customers’ environment, as well as Intune and Autopilot policies required for each maturity level.

    Efficient Device Deployment & Maximum Endpoint Security

    We also use Intune to manage your customers’ desktop and mobile devices and configure Windows Autopilot for easy deployment of new devices. Additionally, we use Defender for Endpoint as an antivirus solution and offer SkyKick Backup for comprehensive data protection.

    Protect Your Data against Cyber Threats

    Implementing the Essential Eight helps save more time and money than addressing a large-scale cyber security threat. Partner with CyberAgency to determine the maturity level you need and ensure cyber security compliance.
