Reply To: Cyber Security Tools
Cybersecurity tools are different types of software programs that protect your system and the sensitive data stored in it from falling into the wrong hands.
The different categories of cybersecurity tools include –
1. Antivirus software: Find viruses and malware such as trojans, ransomware, worms, and spyware.
2. Virtual private networks (VPNs): Protect the internet traffic by routing it through an encrypted tunnel and allow you to browse the internet anonymously by masking your IP address.
3. Network security monitoring tools: Analyze the network and detect all network-based threats.
4. Encryption tools: Convert human-readable text into a form that makes no sense, protecting data from unauthorized users.
5. Website vulnerability and malware scanning tools: Scan web apps and websites to identify security vulnerabilities or cyber threats.
6. Firewalls: Monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic.
7. Penetration testing tools: Evaluate the system’s security by simulating a pen attack similar to hackers.
8. Managed detection and response services (MDR): Provide threat hunting, threat intelligence, security monitoring, incident analysis, and incident response.
