A majority of government organizations taking a recent survey by security education provider SANS Institute said they have adopted the Critical Security Controls (CSCs), a roadmap of 20 best practices for computer security developed by a public private consortium.
The CSC project was initiated in 2008 as a response to extreme data losses experienced by U.S. defense firms.
This year’s survey found 90 percent of organizations used the roadmap, with government and financial-sector-based industries leading the pack. The results run well ahead of a similar 2013 SANS survey, which showed a 73 percent adoption rate, according to SANS.
