Overview
Details
Essential 8 is, when applied effectively, a set of controls that are designed to prevent malware from running and limit the extent of compromise. This app on aims to help customers report on their compliance against these controls. It aims to provide the dashboards and datamodels that aid in answering some of the key questions such as:

- Do I have all of my hosts with application whitelisting enforced.
- Have my operating systems been patched recently
- Am I taking regular backups of my hosts, files and configurations.
- What users have multi-factor authentication enabled.

Overview

This guide does not cover the step by step details for deploying forwarders and getting data in but allows you to see the flow and process of getting each dashboard to light up.
