Is Just Purchasing Cyber Security Tools Enough? Cyber Tip Tuesday Video
Welcome to this week's Cyber Tip Tuesday - this week James talks about how purchasing security tools does not in itself increase security.
It’s fair to say that there are plenty of things you can do for little or no cost that will greatly decrease your attack surface or increase your security posture.
With the sheer number of products on offer promising a complete solution, it’s easy to fall in to the trap of wanting a quick fix for security.
However, simply purchasing a product is unlikely to offer any benefit without appropriate configuration or in many cases the expertise to interpret the output.
A good example is Microsoft 365 which offers many passive security features as well as some of the most accessible and competitive security tools on the market for businesses of all sizes.
However, in order to take advantage of these features they must first be configured and then maintained and monitored with oversight by a security specialist.
Security is not a tool or even a collection of tools but a mindset of deliberate and regular actions.
