In today’s world of digital technology, it’s unfortunately common for hackers to find new ways to get a hold of your personal information. This leak of information can lead to fraud, identity theft, or for businesses, even a data breach. As you reflect on what you are grateful for during Thanksgiving, it’s important to also give thanks to the cybersecurity products out there that prevent hackers from having access to critical information. From security software to SIEM solutions, there are many different types of security products available to you.
Although many computers and devices come with antivirus software already installed, it’s always good to do your research and install additional software that fits your needs. There are many types of antivirus software out there, whether you are looking for personal or business protection. Norton offers an antivirus security software that blocks harmful websites, as well as a Firewall and 100% virus protection. This software also provides a secure VPN so even when you are not using your secure home network, your internet browsing will remain private.
Endpoint security solutions take your protection a step further and focus on the activity of user devices. These solutions ensure that your device’s entry points are blocked from malware trying to enter the system. If you’re looking for an endpoint security solution to protect your business’s data, Cisco Umbrella is the leader in cloud security. Cisco Umbrella extends data protection to devices, remote users, and distributed locations anywhere.
A SIEM solution gives businesses a complete view of activity across their network. The advantage of a SIEM solution is businesses have the visibility to be able to respond to threats faster with real-time analysis. Microsoft Sentinel is a SIEM solution that offers a birds-eye view across your network, making your threat detection and response smarter and faster with its artificial intelligence.
For added security, many cybersecurity products also offer extensions that you can download and use within your browser. Extensions offer a variety of different ways to protect your device from viruses. Whether you are looking for an extension to identify if a website on the search engine results page is safe for you to click on or to block malicious ads from appearing on web pages, there is an extension out there that will fit your security goal.
