Automating Cyber Essentials with Puppet White Paper

The Cyber Essentials (CE) certification scheme was launched in 2014 and is backed by the UK government. It is designed to help organisations protect themselves from the most common cyber threats that make up the majority of breaches through annual assessments. The scheme from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) focuses on five key cyber security controls: secure internet connection, secure devices and software, access control, malware protection and security update management.
