Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. ET

To strengthen your cyber defenses, you need to determine which security measures you'll implement, which tools you'll use along the way, and how much it will cost to procure them. It's not easy to calculate all this on your own.

Fortunately, you don't need to. Join us for a webinar to understand the costs of strengthening your cyber defenses so that you can strategically plan your implementation of security best practices from the Center for Internet Security® (CIS®).

By attending this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Why Implementation Group 1 (IG1) of the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) is the equivalent of essential cyber hygiene
  • How much of your organization's IT budget you want to set aside to strengthen your cyber defenses using IG1
  • How you can track, prioritize, and monitor the impact of your IG1 implementation efforts using CIS SecureSuite® Membership
