CISA lists a set of free cybersecurity tools and services

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the United States announced a repository of free cybersecurity tools and services to enable organizations handle malicious attacks and improve their organization’s security overall.

101 free cybersecurity tools and services

The CISA list includes a mix of 101 tools and services from open-source, private vendors, public sector firms and CISA themselves. “Many organizations, both public and private, are target rich and resource poor. The resources on this list will help such organizations improve their security posture, which is particularly critical in the current heightened threat environment” said  Jen Easterly, CISA Director.

The free tools and services include,

• Microsoft
• Google
• CISA
• Cloudfare
• Palo Alto Networks
• Cisco
• Centre for Internet Security
• Open Source
• Crowdstrike
• Tenable
• AT & T Cybersecurity
• IBM
• Mandiant
• Splunk
• VMware
• SANS
• Secureworks

This tool repository is a great initiative by CISA to build the defenses against threat actors and help organizations establish a fundamental security and enhance it further. CISA also has launched multiple dedicated portals for several vulnerabilities and have documented the same individually.

Adding to the free cybersecurity tools and services, the agency has also published risky cybersecurity procedures, tips to resist ransomware threats, procedures for handling nefarious information and influence operations.

CISA Shields Up Campaign

Recently, the CISA also launched the ‘Shields Up‘ campaign notifying organizations for potential cyber threats. The agency also published alerts for proactive steps that network infrastructure needs to address and mitigate threats.

“Malicious actors may use tactics — such as misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation — to shape public opinion, undermine trust, and amplify division, which can lead to impacts to critical functions and services across multiple sectors,” CISA said.

The CISA’s list of free cybersecurity tools and services along with the individual portals for each vulnerabilities and procedures will facilitate organizations to enrich their network and be a less favorite target for threat actors.

The recent cyberattacks on Ukraine is a wakeup call for organizations around the world to beef up their security practices and build their defenses effectively.
