The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a non-profit organization focused on improving public and private sector cybersecurity readiness and response. The CIS Critical Security Controls (CSC) are a recommended set of actions for cyber defense that provide specific and actionable ways to stop today’s most pervasive and dangerous attacks. A principal benefit of the controls is that they prioritize and focus a smaller number of actions with high pay-off results.
The CIS Benchmarks, also known as CIS Security Standards, comprise 140+ configuration guidelines for various technology groups to safeguard systems against today’s evolving cyber threats. The process of checking for compliance within your hybrid and multi-cloud environments can be arduous and costly, and any kind of manual checks are subject to human error.
Runecast is a patented enterprise IT platform that provides IT ops and security teams one platform for configuration monitoring, vulnerability management, security compliance, remediation, upgrade planning and reporting.
Runecast automates the process of checking for compliance with CIS Benchmarks in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes, VMware, Windows and Linux. Findings against both Level 1 and Level 2 recommendations are detailed, with each finding linked to the affected objects – in total, well over 400 checks.
With Runecast Analyzer, you get year-round, 24/7 visibility into your audit compliance posture. It allows you to get immediate visibility into risks and non-compliances inherent in your environment, allowing you to identify gaps between where you are and a fully compliant state, and also show as soon as any objects move out of compliance.
The solution runs entirely on-premises, with no data leaving your control. All analysis takes place on the Runecast Analyzer appliance. Additionally, Runecast Analyzer is CIS Certified for both AWS and VMware vSphere and Windows Server. Move to a more proactive way of handling your compliance requirements!
Run it... you will be amazed by the findings. We always think that a lot of applications are secure by nature and by how they’ve been designed, but after deploying Runecast you really understand the gaps that you might have in your environment and it’s definitely an eye-opener.
