Cyber Security Software Tools

What is cyber security software?

Cyber security software is software that aims to stop sophisticated cyberattacks. Modern cyber security software often contains multiple layers of security tools, including machine learning and cybersecurity AI solutions to continuously build greater protection as new cyber threats arise. However, in the event a cyberattack is successful, cyber security software also provides resilience to protect email, backup critical data and ensure business continuity. 

What is the need for cyber security tools and software?

Cyber security tools and software are essential to protect organizations against the increasing rise in potentially devastating criminal attacks that threaten business continuity and data leaks, as well as potential ransomware payments. While business productivity, downtime and direct monetary losses are serious complications from a successful cyberattack, the biggest impact on a company's bottom line is often reputational damage and the downstream effects that ensue.

How do cyber security tools and software work?

Cyber security tools and software uses an integrated set of technologies, controls, and processes to identify potential risks to network and application security and prevent them from contaminating organization systems. Cyber security tools and software also provide for business continuity and data protection in the event of a successful cyberattack. Cyber Security Tools and Software also provides end-user training to detect and avoid potential cyberattacks.

Improve cyber resilience with superior cyber security software

Confronted by increasingly devastating cyber threats, many organizations are looking for cyber security software solutions that can help to achieve cyber resilience.

Traditionally, cyber security software has been focused on stopping attacks and preventing cyber crime. But as the cyber risk landscape continues to expand and become more complex, savvy companies are looking for software solutions that enable resilience when attacks are successful.

Business continuity and data availability are key to cyber resilience. Since so many leading cyber security threats originate in email, most companies working toward cyber resilience want cyber security software that can not only protect email but ensure its continuity and availability during and after an attack.
