Webinar:Essential 8 - Improve your cybersecurity

Posted on 1 May 2025

In this webinar, Stratos Operations Manager Simon Langford walks us through:

  • Essential 8 for Security
  • How to identify your security gaps
  • Quick wins to improve your security

Simon has extensive experience designing and implementing IT solutions and is passionate about developing good processes and practices that support businesses without hindering the ability to get the job done.

The Security Essential 8 framework is a comprehensive approach designed to safeguard organizations from cyber threats. Developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, this framework outlines eight fundamental strategies that can significantly enhance an organization's security posture.

These strategies include application whitelisting, patching applications, restricting administrative privileges, patching operating systems, configuring Microsoft Office macro settings, user application hardening, multi-factor authentication, and daily backups.

Each element is chosen to address common vulnerabilities and provide robust defences against malicious activities. Implementing these essentials ensures that businesses can mitigate risks effectively while maintaining operational efficiency.
