This Azure-based virtual machine comes pre-configured with an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image that is hardened to address the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 2 compliance needs.

Implementing CIS Level 2 benchmarks can help organizations improve their security posture and protect against advanced and persistent threats.

The CIS Controls are a set of cybersecurity best practices and guidelines designed to help organizations protect their systems and data against common threats. The CIS Controls are organized into different levels, with Level 1 representing foundational cybersecurity practices that provide basic security protections.

CIS Level 1 benchmarks typically consist of a set of security configuration recommendations and guidelines that organizations can implement to improve their security posture. These benchmarks are designed to address common security vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers may exploit.

Implementing CIS Level 1 benchmarks can help organizations establish a baseline level of security and reduce their risk exposure to common cyber threats. However, it's important to note that these benchmarks should be considered as a starting point, and organizations may need to customize them based on their specific security requirements and risk profile.

CIS Level 2 benchmarks build upon the foundational security practices established in Level 1 and provide additional security controls and recommendations to further strengthen an organization's security posture. Level 2 benchmarks typically cover more advanced security measures and controls compared to Level 1.

Implementing CIS Level 2 benchmarks can help organizations further improve their security posture and better protect against more advanced and persistent threats.

Key features:

CIS benchmarks are internationally recognized as security standards for defending IT systems and data against cyberattacks
CIS controls map to many established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and NIST SP 800-53, the ISO 27000 series of standards, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and others.
Hardening is a process that helps protect against unauthorized access, denial of service, and other cyberthreats by limiting potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.
