If you’re someone who uses computers often, you know how important it is to keep them safe from things like viruses and hackers. Just as you lock your house to keep burglars out, you want to make sure your computers and the information on them are protected. This is where the Center for Internet Security (CIS) comes in. Think of CIS like a superhero team whose mission is to protect everyone’s computers.
Every so often, this team comes up with new defense strategies. These strategies are shared with the world in what are called “CIS Benchmarks.” The Benchmarks are a list of best practices to help people make their computers more secure. Just recently, in September 2024, the CIS team updated some of these important guidelines to help keep computers even safer.
These updates are like the superhero team getting new gadgets; they make sure that even the newest tricks of computer villains can be stopped. The best part is that you don’t need to be a tech wizard to understand them. The guidelines are made so that just about anyone, including you, can follow them and improve computer safety.
