Center for Internet Security

Overview

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a non-profit organization based in the United States, established in 2000, with a focus on improving cybersecurity for public and private sector entities. With an employee size ranging from 501 to 1,000, CIS operates within the realms of computer and network security, offering resources and guidance to enhance organizational cybersecurity policies. One of its key contributions is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Policy Template Guide, which serves as a resource for participants of the Nationwide Cybersecurity Review and members of the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC). This guide outlines various aspects of cybersecurity governance, risk management, and incident response, providing customizable policy templates that organizations can adapt to their specific needs. CIS's work emphasizes the importance of integrating cybersecurity practices into broader risk management frameworks, thereby supporting organizations in understanding and mitigating cybersecurity risks. The organization's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity practices is evident through its collaborative efforts and the resources it provides to its members and the wider community.
