Essential 8 explained
Application Control
NEXI enforces strict control over which applications can run across your systems, blocking unauthorised or malicious software before it can execute. This ensures only trusted and verified programs operate within your environment—reducing the risk of malware, ransomware, and shadow IT exposure.
Patch Applications
Outdated software is one of the easiest entry points for attackers. NEXI ensures all third-party applications are continuously updated and patched against the latest vulnerabilities. Our automated patching schedules close security gaps fast, keeping your systems hardened and compliant.
Microsoft Office Macro Management
Macros are a common attack vector in phishing and document-based threats. NEXI restricts and controls macro execution in Microsoft Office applications, allowing only digitally signed and approved macros to run—eliminating one of the most exploited weaknesses in modern workplaces.
User Application Hardening
Browsers, document readers, and email clients are constantly targeted. NEXI hardens these applications by disabling unsafe features such as Flash, ads, and scripting, and by enforcing strict security settings. This prevents malicious content from executing and safeguards users while they work.
Patch Operating Systems
Unpatched operating systems are a gateway for attackers. NEXI actively manages OS updates across your endpoints and servers, ensuring critical security patches are applied within strict timeframes. This keeps your systems protected against known vulnerabilities and exploits.
Restrict Administrative Privileges
Excessive admin access is one of the biggest internal risks. NEXI limits administrative rights to only those who need them, applying role-based access controls and logging every privileged action. This reduces human error, insider threats, and unauthorised system changes.
Data Backup & Recovery
Backups are your last line of defence. NEXI implements secure, encrypted, and automated daily backups with regular restoration testing. In the event of a cyber incident or system failure, your data can be recovered quickly and safely, ensuring business continuity.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Passwords alone aren’t enough. NEXI enforces MFA across all users, devices, and privileged accounts to ensure that even if credentials are stolen, access is denied. We integrate MFA seamlessly into your workflows—protecting remote access, cloud platforms, and business-critical applications.
Frequently asked questions
The Essential Eight is a cybersecurity framework developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). It outlines eight key mitigation strategies proven to prevent or reduce the impact of cyber attacks.
