Back in August of 2000, a small group of business and government leaders met at the legendary Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C. to discuss a concerning rash of cyber-attacks. From that meeting and others, a vision emerged for an independent, mission-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing and mitigating new cyber threats.

Today, CIS is the embodiment of that vision. Over the course of 20 years, we have been privileged to work with some of the best minds in the cybersecurity and IT professions. Through a global, collaborative effort, we have developed world-class standards in the form of the CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks, along with specialized technology tools to help security practitioners implement and manage their cyber defenses.

CIS is proud to have grown our team to more than 250 employees in 19 states throughout the U.S., and have built a global community of volunteer subject matter experts with whom we are proud to collaborate to make the connected world a safer place now and for the future.

The celebration is just getting started. Stay tuned for more stories of the founding of CIS and the great things we have planned for 2021 and beyond.
