Summary

Supplement 36 to ITU-T X-series Recommendations describes the critical security controls (CSCs) to supplement the implementation of Recommendation ITU-T X.1051. CSCs are a prioritized set of actions that collectively form a defence-in-depth set of best practices that mitigate the most common attacks as part of the information and network security management of an organization. These controls are developed by a community of information technology (IT) experts who apply their first-hand experience as cyber defenders to create globally acceptable security best practices and to include multiple sectors such as retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, government and defence.
