What is CIS (Center for Internet Security)?

CIS, or the Center for Internet Security, is an independent, non-profit organization that develops global standards, best practices, and tools to strengthen cybersecurity across businesses, the public sector, and critical infrastructure.

As threats grow more complex, the need for structured and measurable security controls has increased — making CIS a practical and globally recognized foundation for modern cybersecurity.

The organization is best known for CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks — frameworks that help organizations establish, measure, and improve their security posture.

Metaphorically, CIS acts as a security architect, building the digital foundation of a house. Doors, windows, and locks represent security controls — and CIS ensures they are properly reinforced against intrusions.
