History:
Experts began to compile the so-called Top 20 Security Controls list (Consensus Audit Guidelines) in 2008 after a series of U.S. defense industry companies suffered a series of severe loss of data, due to various cyber-attacks. With these attacks on the rise, it compelled many federal cyber-attack and defense experts to collaborate their understanding and knowledge of these malicious attack techniques, which were being used against both government and corporate industries alike. This collaboration resulted in the known top 20 lists of known security controls needed to ensure the integrity of organizational assets.
