Center for Internet Security

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a nonprofit organization established in 2000 that brings together public and private sector partners to advance cybersecurity readiness and response for organizations worldwide. CIS is best known for developing the CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks, which are globally recognized best practices and standards for securing IT systems and data against pervasive cyber threats. The organization operates the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), which serves as the primary resource for cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery for U.S. state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Through collaborative efforts, CIS provides secure configuration benchmarks, security automation content, and a range of cybersecurity resources to help organizations of all sizes achieve their security goals, fostering a trusted environment for information sharing and proactive defense against emerging threats.
