Organisations today face a rapidly evolving threat landscape, where identities—whether human, machine, or AI—are increasingly targeted as the primary attack vector. The rising volume and sophistication of cyberattacks make it harder to protect sensitive data and critical infrastructure, especially as environments become more distributed and connected to the cloud.
To help reduce risk and improve resilience, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) introduced the Essential Eight—a set of prioritised mitigation strategies designed to guide organisations in implementing foundational security controls and maturing their cyber defence posture.
This whitepaper explores:
- What the Essential Eight is and why it matters in today’s identity threat landscape.
- How organisations can implement Essential Eight strategies using a unified, risk-based approach.
- How CyberArk’s C3 Alliance enhances protection through certified, integrated solutions.
