What is SANS Top 20?

The SANS Top 20 is a list of the most critical security controls developed and maintained by the SANS Institute. It is a prioritized set of actions that organizations can take to protect their critical assets and data from cyber attacks. The controls are divided into foundational and advanced sets, covering areas like inventory management, vulnerability management, secure configuration, and incident response. Organizations use the SANS Top 20 to prioritize their security efforts, measure their progress, and improve their overall security posture.
