The Five Cyber Essentials Controls  Firewalls  Access Control  Secure Configuration  Malware  Software Management 14/04/2015 14

Firewalls  Firewalls are a front line of defence between the internet and your network, your systems and your data  They control traffic passing through them and can prevent people on the internet from accessing your devices and exploiting vulnerabilities

Access Control  Access control ensures that users only have access to data which they are entitled to access.  It is particularly important to restrict access to privileged or “admin” accounts that could allow a malicious actor to install software and bypass controls

Secure Configuration  “Out of the box” computers and devices often contain unnecessary software and default passwords which can make them insecure and vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber essentials requires these settings to be changed to make systems more secure.

Malware  Computers and mobile devices are vulnerable to malicious software (“malware”), such as viruses. Simple anti -malware software can reduce this risk significantly

Software Management  Software frequently contains weaknesses or security vulnerabilities. Software suppliers release regular updates or “patches” to resolve these weaknesses. Managing the software updates is an important way to reduce cyber risks.
