Center for Internet Security (CIS) Free Cisco Benchmark PDF

I was searching over the Internet for a best practice guide to be used for my network audit. I'll then perform device hardening afterwards. I came across the Center for Internet Security (CIS) website which provides free Network device benchmark PDF documents. The CIS document includes the guideline for best practice configuration and explains the logic behind it.



Just fill up the required information.



Open the email (check your Junk Email) and click on the link provided. It will redirect you to CIS Benchmark PDF download area.


CIS also provides benchmark PDFs for OS, web browsers and mobile devices.



I'm more interested on the items under Network Devices.


Click Download PDF on a specific category (Cisco IOS 15 in this case).




Below is a snippet of a CIS PDF document for a Cisco ASA Firewall.
