If we conduct a random survey within a company about cybersecurity, the two main responses would be the firewall and the antivirus.

The antivirus scans -normally in real time- all the files and documents that we use in search of threats such as viruses, malware, ransomware, etc.
The firewall acts in a similar way, but with the network, scanning the packages that we receive and send, protecting us from intruders and other threats.

Although these 2 measures are very useful and essential, within a company they are not enough. There are many other security measures that we must adopt, both internally and externally, including of course the antivirus and the firewall.

Below we present a list of the main cybersecurity tools that you can adopt for your company.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS / IDPS).

They are devices that monitor the company's systems and generate alarms if suspicious behavior patterns are detected.

Honeypots.

False vulnerabilities put on purpose to gather information about attacks on our company.

Antispam

Measures against unwanted emails are very necessary, because currently 80% of Internet threats arrive at the company's systems through employee email. The internal security of the platform also comes into play here.

If an employee in your company becomes infected, does the entire network become infected?

There are also tools for this type of vulnerabilities caused by an employee, who often does not realize the damage that is occurring and with which we can ensure IT equipment within the company.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN).

They are virtual tunnels created through the network to isolate and protect communications. They are often used to connect users remotely, but they are also used in very secure local environments.

Analysis and prevention of web vulnerabilities.

In the case that we have a web App, it is also important to protect it against attacks, because a hacker could get access to private data of the company if it manages to exploit a vulnerability.

End point layer.

Security measures that prevent the execution of suspicious programs and services, restrict privileges and reduce the likelihood of system infections.

In addition, having a professional, efficient and trustworthy technical team is a very important added value.

The technical team that works with the systems of the company must have high technical knowledge, both of the systems themselves and in the safety of them and renew their knowledge every bit, because the threats are very changing and you always have to be prepared for the last.
