- Boundary Firewalls and Internet Gateways: Implementing robust firewalls to secure internet connections.
- Secure Configuration: Ensuring systems are configured securely to reduce vulnerabilities.
- Access Control: Restricting access to data and services to authorized users only.
- Malware Protection: Deploying measures to detect and prevent malware infections.

By adhering to these controls, businesses can mitigate common cyber threats and enhance their overall security posture.
