CIS Communities

Everything we do at CIS is community‑driven. By joining a community, you’ll work with IT security practitioners from around the world who volunteer their time and expertise to help refine and validate our best practices, tools, and resources.

In addition to contributing to the CIS Controls, CIS Benchmarks, and other collaborative efforts, community members can also explore how these best practices map to real‑world threats through our Community Defense resources.

Learn how CIS facilitates a community-driven, Collective Cyber Defense approach that leverages shared intelligence, common standards, collaborative problem‑solving, and coordinated action to turn community expertise into operational cybersecurity.
