Technical Information for Mitigating Targeted Cyber Intrusions

The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) has developed a list of 35 strategies to mitigate against targeted cyber intrusions. At least 70% of the targeted cyber intrusions that DSD responded to in 2009 could have been prevented if organisations had implemented the first four mitigation strategies listed in this paper.

The strategies are ranked in order of overall effectiveness. Rankings are based on DSD’s analysis of reported security incidents and vulnerabilities detected by DSD in testing the security of Australian Government networks.
