The document outlines key security technologies for 2024, including encryption, intrusion detection and prevention systems, firewalls, and endpoint detection and response. It highlights the importance of each technology with examples such as AES for encryption and Snort for IDS/IPS. Additionally, it emphasizes security practices like multi-factor authentication and security awareness training to enhance overall cybersecurity.

2. Encryption
Encryption secures
data by encoding it,
ensuring only
authorized users can
access it.
Example: Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES)
Intrusion Detection
and Prevention
Systems (IDS/IPS)
IDS/IPS monitors for
threats, alerts admins,
and blocks suspicious
activity.
Example: Snort

3. Firewalls
Essential for network
security, creating a
barrier to filter and
prevent unauthorized
access and attacks.
Example: pfSense
Endpoint Detection
& Response (EDR)
Advanced endpoint
monitoring and threat
detection, surpassing
basic antivirus,
responds to complex
attacks in real time.
Example: Xcitium EDR

4. Data Loss
Prevention (DLP)
DLP solutions prevent
sensitive data leakage
by monitoring and
enforcing transfer
policies based on
specific criteria.
Example: Symantec Data
Loss Prevention (DLP)
Multi-Factor
Authentication (MFA)
MFA boosts security
with multiple
verification methods,
reducing
unauthorized access
risk.
Example: Microsoft
Authenticator

5. Security Information
and Event
Management (SIEM)
SIEM centralizes
security data from
various tools for a
unified view, helping
teams detect and
address threats
efficiently.
Example: Splunk
Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs)
VPNs extend private
network access over
the Internet, providing
secure connectivity as
if users were
physically on the
network.
Example: NordVPN

6. Antivirus/Anti-mal
ware software
Antivirus software
detects and removes
malicious software,
safeguarding against
cyber threats.
Example: Malwarebytes
Security Awareness
Training
Educating employees
on security best
practices enhances
overall cybersecurity
within organizations.
