Hello! I'm Steven Lafortune—Devolutions' communication maestro by day, riff-slaying guitarist by night, and the ultimate hockey play-by-play guy in between. When I'm not rescuing Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda or watching the extended Lord of the Rings trilogy for the 235,476th time, you’ll probably find me rocking out at a show. Quick-witted, always up for a laugh, and full of fresh ideas, I bring the same energy to my work as I do to the stage!

Cybercriminals are advancing threats and accelerating attacks. In response, organizations must increase controls and strengthen standards. A powerful resource in this fight is the Australian government “Essential 8.”

Keep reading to learn more about the Essential 8, and about our new white paper that explores how Devolutions has embraced this rigorous cybersecurity framework internally and across our products.

About the Essential 8

Developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), the Essential 8 is a suite of prioritized mitigation strategies that help organizations prevent attacks, limit the impact of breaches, and enhance data recovery capabilities. The strategies cover activities and controls related to:

Patch applications
Patch operating systems
Enable multi-factor authentication
Restrict administrative privileges
Implement application control
Restrict Microsoft Office macros
Harden user applications
Perform regular backups

Implementing the Essential 8 is mandatory for all Australian government entities, departments, and agencies, along with organizations that conduct business with the Australian government. Generally, the strategies are strongly recommended for organizations worldwide to protect internet-connected information technology networks.
