What are your go-to digital security tools?

5
•
With online security being as vulnerable as it is right now (gestures broadly around), I'm curious, how does everyone here manage their security online? Either digital or analog tools, what do you use to stay safe? I'll start: I've been migrating all of my "Word_word525!" passwords to the iOS native password manager and letting the manager suggest a new one for me each time. Honestly, it's made my life so much simpler and it's a breeze to update a password after a breach or hack. So how do you stay safe online?

I make sure to keep 2FA activated for all of my accounts. Can't be safe on the internet without it!

For me, a password manager is a non-negotiable need. Having a platform that suggests and stores strong passwords makes it much easier to update my login credentials

A few free or relatively cheap tools come to mind when thinking about what we use at our startup. Free/Freemium - Web filtering - Cloudflare Zero Trust - helps protect your internet browsing from malware and phishing, basic plan is free for less than 50 employees - Security awareness - SafeStack - Has both generic security awareness training and lab based secure code training, free tier for both to get started - TLS/SSL scanning - SSL Labs - free tool to check your website's certificate - Vulnerability scanning - OWASP ZAP - Once you get a handle of the interface, you can do automatic or manual scans of your websites Paid - Laptop security - Pareto Security - checks that base security settings are applied on your laptops and has an easy to use agent with help guides built in (they've launched here, which is how I found it) - Password manager - 1Password - affordable startup plan and I use the linked free family plan for personal use - Vulnerability scanning - Intruder - cloud based and super easy to use with lots of integrations

Managing online security is crucial. Personally, I've embraced the wonders of password managers too. They're game-changers, right? Also, enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible adds that extra layer. I've made it a habit to stay informed about the latest security trends and updates, ensuring my software is always up to date. Cybersecurity is a dynamic field, after all. BTW, in cases where you need a bit of digital reinforcement, ethical hackers can be valuable allies. Hiring a skilled professional https://hireahacker.co.uk/ to assess and fortify your online defenses might just be the ace up your sleeve.
