CIS Benchmark for MySQL Enterprise Edition
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a global community of cybersecurity experts. CIS develops CIS Benchmarks, secure configuration and implementation guidelines used to safeguard against cyber threats. The CIS MySQL Benchmark provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for MySQL Enterprise Edition 8.0.
CIS benchmarks go through continuous consensus reviews by security professionals and in this case MySQL experts. Reviewers come from consulting, software development, audit and compliance, security research, operations, government, and legal, providing a diversity of perspectives on cybersecurity. Although the CIS Benchmarks focuses on Linux based platforms, many of the concepts and practices transfer to other platforms supported by MySQL. Bring your systems into compliance using a secure baseline by implementing and auditing against CIS Benchmarks.
