CIS Controls: Eliminating Subjective Security is an engaging exploration of how the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls serve as a practical framework to combat today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges, including ransomware. Through real-world stories, the presentation will highlight the gap between subjective security—what we perceive as safe—and objective security, which is measurable and actionable. Attendees will learn how the CIS Controls can serve as a strategic guide to build a resilient security posture and systematically elevate their organization's defenses against evolving threats.

Three Key Takeaways:
The Power of Objectivity in Security:
Understand the critical difference between subjective perceptions of safety and objective, measurable security practices. Learn why relying on quantifiable metrics is essential to counter threats like ransomware.

CIS Controls as a Roadmap:
Discover how implementing CIS Controls creates a prioritized and structured path for improving your organization’s cybersecurity, regardless of size or maturity level.

Raising the Bar Against Ransomware:
Learn how aligning your security strategy with CIS Controls not only reduces the likelihood of a ransomware attack but also minimizes its impact, creating a proactive, rather than reactive, defense posture.
