Why Is This CIS Control Critical?
Protect
Malicious software (sometimes categorised
as viruses or Trojans) is an integral and
dangerous aspect of internet threats. They
can have many purposes, from capturing
credentials, stealing data, identifying other
targets within the network, and encrypting
or destroying data. Malware is everevolving and adaptive, as modern variants
leverage machine learning techniques.

10 - MalwareDefenses
Malware enters an enterprise through
vulnerabilities within the enterprise on
end-user devices, email attachments,
webpages, cloud services, mobile devices,
and removable media. Malware often
relies on insecure end-user behavior, such
as clicking links, opening attachments,
installing software or profiles, or inserting
Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drives.
Modern malware is designed to avoid,
deceive, or disable defenses.
