The Challenge
CIS Controls Require Broad Technical Coverage. Most Organizations Don't Have the Tools.
The CIS Controls v8 define 18 critical security practices across three Implementation Groups, from basic cyber hygiene (IG1) to advanced defense (IG3). For most organizations, achieving meaningful coverage requires assembling and integrating multiple security tools: NGAV, vulnerability management, SIEM, identity security, network monitoring, email security, and more.
The result is operational complexity, integration overhead, and audit evidence scattered across a dozen consoles. Cynet eliminates that problem.
CIS Benchmark Support. Built In.
Cynet SSPM/CSPM aligns critical SaaS and cloud security settings to CIS Benchmarks, providing on-demand and automated assessment against CIS controls without manual configuration review. This is the foundation of CIS Controls' data protection requirements for cloud environments.
How Cynet Helps
Native Coverage Across CIS Controls v8
Cynet's unified, AI-powered platform delivers technical capabilities that directly map to many CIS Controls — from asset inventory and vulnerability management to detection, response, and log management. Instead of managing 8 separate tools for 8 control categories, you get one agent, one data model, and one unified console.
Cynet discovers and inventories all managed and unmanaged endpoints, devices, users, SaaS applications, and cloud workloads to deliver a real-time asset register without manual processes.
Cynet SSPM/CSPM audits cloud and SaaS configurations against CIS Benchmarks, identifies deviations, and flags unencrypted data stores. Network DLP detects sensitive data exfiltration attempts in real time.
Cynet Identity Security and ITDR tracks all user accounts, monitors privilege changes, detects dormant or unauthorized accounts, and enforces least-privilege access — supporting CIS 5 and 6 requirements.
Cynet provides endpoint vulnerability scanning across all managed assets, with risk-ranked findings and tracked remediation. This aligns to the vulnerability management program that CIS 7 requires.
Cynet SIEM and Centralized Log Management collects, normalizes, retains, and monitors logs across the entire environment. Automated correlation fulfills CIS 8's comprehensive log management and review requirements.
Cynet Email Security blocks phishing, malware, and malicious URL attacks. CyAI-powered NGAV detects and blocks malware pre-execution — aligning to both CIS 9 and CIS 10 without implementing separate point tools.
Cynet network monitoring detects unauthorized devices, lateral movement, and anomalous traffic. Automated response playbooks support recovery objectives aligned to CIS 11 and 12 requirements.
Cynet NDR and UEBA establish behavioral baselines and detect anomalies across users and devices, supporting the monitoring and anomaly detection requirements of CIS 13 and 14.
Cynet SSPM monitors application-layer configurations. SOAR playbooks automate incident response workflows, providing the documented procedures and evidence trails CIS 16 and 17 require.
Key Capabilities
What Cynet Delivers for CIS Controls Readiness
Asset Discovery
Real-time inventory of all managed and unmanaged endpoints, users, cloud assets, and SaaS applications, the foundation of CIS Controls 1 and 2.
CyAI-Powered NGAV
Pre-execution malware prevention with more than 97% of advanced threats detected autonomously and <0.9% false positives, covering CIS Control 10 without configuration overhead.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous CVE scanning, risk-ranked prioritization, and tracked remediation, required for CIS Control 7.
SIEM & Centralized Log Management
Comprehensive log collection, normalization, retention, and 24×7 review supporting CIS Control 8 without a standalone SIEM investment.
Identity Security, ITDR & UEBA
Account lifecycle monitoring, privilege tracking, and behavioral anomaly detection across all user accounts, covering CIS Controls 5, 6, and 14.
SSPM / CSPM
Automated CIS Benchmark alignment for cloud and SaaS environments, delivered continuously, not on a quarterly audit schedule.
CyOps MDR
24×7 expert monitoring, threat hunting, and response from Cynet's built-in SOC team, extending your team's coverage without adding headcount.
