Why is this important?
As stated on the Cyber.gov.au website: The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has developed a set of prioritised mitigation strategies, called the Essential Eight (E8), to help organisations protect their internet-connected IT networks from various cyber threats. This framework defines three maturity levels (from Maturity Level One to Three) that correspond to the increasing complexity of adversaries’ tools, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Additionally, a Maturity Level Zero is included to represent situations where the requirements of Maturity Level One are not yet met.
