The ACSC Essential Eight is a list of eight essential mitigation strategies for businesses and organisations to protect themselves against cyber threats. The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), in agreement with the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) developed the Essential 8 strategies to improve cyber resilience, protect systems and resources against compromise, and keep data secure.

Ivanti have designed Essential 8 Solution Bundles to help customers reduce cyber risks by addressing the highest risks in their environment first. The goal is to reduce the attack surface to make sure all hygiene efforts have a positive impact and improve Essential 8 compliance.
The Professional bundle is aimed at customers utilising Microsoft Intune and looking to augment this with Application Control and supporting controls. The Premium bundle is designed for those looking for deeper visibility of their assets and attack surface, coupled with a cloud-native patch management solution for a risk-based approach to vulnerability remediation.
Cyber threats pose many challenges, and there’s no silver bullet to combat them. But you can radically improve your security with a multi-layered approach.
The ACSC recommends you understand your hardware & software assets before starting Essential 8 implementation.
Application allowlisting prevents unauthorised code execution to protect against ransomware and malware. See how Ivanti helps to simplify and streamline management of this essential control from the cloud.
Ensure all your operating systems are updated with the latest patches using a risk-based approach. Support for Windows, macOS and Linux from one SaaS platform.
Automate updates and deploy patches to 3rd party applications which account for 86% of vulnerabilities. Integrate with Microsoft Intune or Ivanti cloud-native delivery.
Implement a least privilege model to protect and limit lateral movement. Remove full admin rights to servers and define who can use specific devices and applications.
Control how applications are configured and interact with the system and user environment.
Secure use of macros and what they can do.
Enable zero sign on with passwordless authentication by using mobile devices as the user ID and primary factor for authentication.
Understand the threat posture of your organization with reporting in real time. You can check the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) for more information on the Essential 8 mitigation strategies and how to implement them.
