Blue Team Foundations with Atomic Controls

Black Hills Information Security developed The Atomic Controls out of a need we saw with our customers to create a strong security foundation before worrying about a specific control framework or compliance requirement.

Instead of getting bogged down with trying to work sequentially through a set of controls and ignoring an implementation that will better secure their environment, organizations can focus on what matters most, first! Comprised of the top 11 (Ours goes to 11) Controls we see as the most critical, The Atomic Controls are designed to measure an organization’s security posture against controls observed to be highly effective during BHIS (Black Hills Information Security) testing engagements. Implementation of these controls provides an organization with defenses that hamper an attacker’s ability to move freely within an environment when compromise occurs. In addition, the blue team will gain the advantage of increased visibility to identify, contain, and eradicate threats from the environment in a timely fashion.
