Originally published in February 2010, the Australian Signals Directorate (ACSC) developed a list of strategies to mitigate targeted cyber intrusions. In 2017, four additional recommendations were added, creating the Essential Eight. This guidance promotes the adoption of sound security and operational practices for managing technology used within Australian Government agencies.

This compliance brief provides an overview of the Essential Eight and explains how your organisation can meet seven of the Essential Eight mitigation strategies.
