What is Essential Eight Cyber Security
The Essential Eight is a cyber security framework developed by the Australian Signals Directorate to help organisations reduce their exposure to ransomware, data breaches and other common cyber threats.
It covers important security controls including system and application patching, multi-factor authentication, restricted administrator access, application control, Microsoft Office macro restrictions, application hardening and reliable backups.
Implementing the Essential Eight can help reduce the likelihood of a successful cyberattack while also improving your organisation’s ability to recover if an incident occurs. The framework includes different maturity levels, allowing businesses to progressively strengthen their security based on their risks, systems and operational requirements.
Accel IT can assess your current security maturity, identify gaps and help implement practical improvements aligned with the Essential Eight. We can also assist with ongoing monitoring, documentation and maintenance to ensure the controls continue working effectively as your business and technology environment change.

Our EDR, MDR & SIEM solutions provide real-time threat response and post-attack analysis, helping businesses recover quickly and prevent further breaches.
Let's Talk Security
Cyber Security Glossary - So what does this all mean?
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Business Email Compromise is an attack where a cybercriminal gains access to, or impersonates, a trusted email account. The attacker may use it to redirect payments, request sensitive information or send convincing phishing messages to employees, customers and suppliers.
Conditional Access
Conditional Access uses rules to control how and when users can access Microsoft 365. Access can be restricted based on factors such as the user’s location, device security, login risk or whether multi-factor authentication has been completed.
DNS Filtering
DNS filtering blocks access to websites and internet services known to distribute malware, phishing pages or other harmful content. It provides an additional layer of protection by preventing users and devices from connecting to dangerous destinations.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Endpoint Detection and Response continuously monitors computers and servers for suspicious activity, malware, ransomware and attacker behaviour. Unlike traditional antivirus, EDR can identify more complex threats and help isolate affected devices before an attack spreads.
Endpoint Security Posture Management (ESPM)
Endpoint Security Posture Management proactively identifies security weaknesses across computers and servers. This can include vulnerable applications, missing patches, unsafe software, configuration problems and security tools that are missing or not working correctly.
Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)
Identity Security Posture Management strengthens Microsoft 365 by identifying and correcting weak security settings, excessive permissions and risky access policies. It also monitors for configuration drift so important security controls remain correctly applied as the environment changes.
Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)
Identity Threat Detection and Response monitors Microsoft 365 accounts for signs of account takeover and identity-based attacks. It can detect suspicious logins, stolen sessions, malicious inbox rules, unauthorised applications and other activity associated with Business Email Compromise.
Incident Response and Containment
Incident response is the process of investigating, controlling and recovering from a cyber security incident. Containment may include isolating a computer, disabling a compromised account, removing malicious access and preventing the threat from spreading further.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Managed Detection and Response combines security technology with continuous monitoring and assistance from cyber security professionals. Rather than simply generating an alert, suspicious activity is investigated so genuine threats can be contained and remediated.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-Factor Authentication requires users to provide an additional form of verification when signing in, such as an authentication app or security key. This makes it more difficult for an attacker to access an account using a stolen password alone.
Phishing Simulation
A phishing simulation sends controlled test emails that resemble common phishing attacks. The results help identify employees who may need additional guidance and provide practical coaching on recognising suspicious links, attachments and requests.
Ransomware
Ransomware is malicious software designed to encrypt files, disrupt business systems or steal sensitive information. Attackers commonly demand payment in exchange for restoring access or promising not to release stolen data.
Security Awareness Training (SAT)
Security Awareness Training teaches employees how to recognise and respond to cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering, unsafe links and fraudulent payment requests. Ongoing training helps employees make safer decisions and reduces the likelihood of a successful attack.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
Security Information and Event Management collects and analyses security events from systems such as computers, servers, firewalls, Microsoft 365 and network devices. Centralised logging improves threat visibility, supports investigations and can help businesses meet cyber insurance and compliance requirements.
Security Operations Centre (SOC)
A Security Operations Centre is a team of security professionals responsible for monitoring, investigating and responding to cyber threats. AccelProtect is supported by around-the-clock SOC monitoring, helping ensure important threats are reviewed even outside normal business hours.
Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability management is the ongoing process of identifying, prioritising and addressing weaknesses in applications, operating systems and network devices. This includes monitoring for missing security updates, outdated software and known vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.
Zero-Day Vulnerability
A zero-day vulnerability is a previously unknown security weakness that may not yet have an available patch. Layered security controls, threat monitoring and rapid response can help reduce the risk while the software vendor develops and releases a fix.
