SILVER SPRING, Md. – April 22, 2024 – PRLog — Madarson IT, a leading provider of cloud and security solutions, today announced the availability of CIS benchmarked Ubuntu virtual servers and desktops in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Madarson IT customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
Madarson IT’s new offering features an Azure-based virtual machine preconfigured with Ubuntu images that are hardened to address the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 1 & 2 compliance needs. Cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations worldwide, and implementing CIS Level 1 or 2 benchmarks can significantly enhance their security posture. The CIS controls, a set of cybersecurity best practices and guidelines, provide organizations with the framework needed to protect against advanced and persistent threats.

By implementing CIS Level 2 benchmarks, organizations can further strengthen their security posture and better protect against advanced threats.
Key features of Madarson IT’s offering include:
- CIS benchmarks, internationally recognized as security standards for defending IT systems and data against cyberattacks.
- CIS controls that map to established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27000 series, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
