5 Essential Tools for the Ultimate Security of Your Organization

5 Essential Tools for the Ultimate Security of Your Organization
Neal Bricker

Are you looking for the ultimate security of your organization or business? Read on to find out more!

Cybersecurity analysts must make use of tools in order to perform their job correctly. From SOAR software solutions to web scanning tools, it’s important to leverage technology and automate as many tasks within reason. Below are the 5 essential tools when bolstering up your organization’s security.

Encryption Tools

Encryption is where text is scrambled to make it appear unrecognizable and unreadable to unauthorized users. Of course, manually encrypting passwords would be a futile waste of time, so we turn to tools like KeePass and NordLocker which can perform the encryption process for us.

Storing passwords without encryption is a no-go in this day and age, as it’s a key part of many data breaches. In order to have the ultimate security of your organization, you need to have the best encryption tools.

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing (pen test) is a cybersecurity technique in which you can perform pseudo attacks on your own computer system to highlight any vulnerabilities. These simulated attacks, performed by pen testing tools such as Netsparker and Metasploit, can be a quick way to bombard your system with (safe) simulated attacks.

This is a quick and direct way to assess vulnerabilities, but it’s difficult to do yourself with the right tools. But to have the ultimate security of your organization, you need to run these tests.

Web and Cloud Vulnerability Scanning Tools

Web vulnerability scanning tools such as SQL injection can help identify security vulnerabilities too. For example, Intruder is an example of a cloud-based security scanner that checks for over 9,000 security vulnerabilities.

Checks include web application flaws and provide emerging threat notifications to highlight problems early on. You take care of your own home security, it is time to check for vulnerabilities for your business as well!

Scanning tools that automate the process of security checks can help you cover more ground for less money. Nikto is another example in which over 6400 different web threats can be detected. And, because it’s open-source, this database of threats continuously gets amended and updated, which is a very important aspect of cybersecurity.

Antivirus Software

A very classic approach to cyber security – so accessible and rudimentary that even individuals use them – is antivirus software. Of course, these can scale with businesses and can search for harmful ransomware, adware, Trojans, and many other viruses.

McAfee and Norton 360 are two popular examples and can be very quick and easy ways to scan for malicious attacks in the background. Such passive security protection may come with a fee, but it’s exceedingly low maintenance.

Firewall

A firewall is essentially a given, but it’s important to not get complacent and ignore how vital it is. A firewall can essentially block traffic, be it incoming or outgoing, as well as blacklist IP addresses and domains. This is a fundamental way of policing unwanted traffic and packets. A firewall device may be more powerful and simple than your current operating system firewall, and although costly, they can deliver exceptional results as they’re built in a bespoke way to protect your network.

The Ultimate Security of Your Organization and Business Now!

These five cybersecurity tools are considered absolute musts when it comes to keeping your systems safe. Of course, there are others too, such as having a network scanner and intrusion detection, but the five mentioned should help sail most of the way through compliance and keeping your business safe.
