    I've recently developed CyberWise - an extension that detects phishing, adware, and malware. I figured I can also tailor it specifically to companies, so I would love to learn what business owners actually need in terms of cybersecurity.

    Based on my experience of assisting businesses with cyber security solutions, these are the key tools that businesses regularly seek: • Behavior-based antivirus software • Machine learning based software • PKI Service • Penetration Testing Apart from these tools staff training is an essential component of cybersecurity, as human error is often the cause of many cyber incidents.

    @victoria_cyberwise Affirmative on both counts. Especially Penetration testing, as it helps me to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the behavior based anti virus software by testing its ability to detect and block malicious activities in real time. For example, I used penetration testing to measure how well the behavior based anti virus software can identify and stop ransomware, fileless malware, or zero-day malware that exhibit suspicious or anomalous patterns of execution.

    For our business, we use a mix of tools like firewalls, anti-virus software, VPNs, and regular security audits to prevent data breaches and hacking attempts. We've also taken managed security training to really beef up our "skills." Check out amaru.co.nz for some good options. They offer complete training that can help you and your business.

    Hello! I use the following cybersecurity tools to prevent data leaks and hacking of my business: RDP 2FA. rdp 2fa adds an additional layer of security to remote desktop by requiring the user to enter a second authentication factor, such as a code from an authentication application or an SMS message, after entering a regular password. This helps protect my business from remote attacks. Antivirus software. Antivirus software helps detect and remove malware that could be used by hackers to break into my business. I use reliable antivirus software and update it regularly to ensure maximum protection. Firewall. A firewall helps protect my business from unauthorized access from the Internet. I use a firewall to block all incoming connections except those I allow. Cybersecurity training for employees. I train my employees in the basics of cybersecurity so they can recognize and avoid threats. I also provide them with resources they can use to learn more about cybersecurity. I find these tools help me protect my business from data leaks and hacking. I encourage other businesses to use similar tools to protect their data.
