The Center for Internet Security (CIS) announced that the group would work with a community of security professionals to create a set of eight metrics to help companies measure their progress in locking down their networks. The project — which distills the recommendations of 85 security experts from government, industry and academia — aims to give companies a single set of data points to track their organization’s security over time and to collect information in a consistent manner, said Bert Miuccio, CEO of the Center for Internet Security.
