"CISA Launches New Catalog of Free Public and Private Sector Cybersecurity Services"

The US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a new catalog of free public and private sector cybersecurity services and tools that organizations of all sizes can use in order to reduce their cybersecurity risk. The list includes services and tools from CISA, the open source community, and private and public sector organizations across the cybersecurity community. It aligns with the CISA's advisory on reducing the likelihood of a damaging cyber incident, detecting malicious activity quickly, responding effectively to confirmed incidents, and maximizing resilience. CISA encourages public and private sector organizations to work together to promote basic cybersecurity practices and help other organizations reduce their vulnerability to cyberattacks. In addition to the list of free services and tools, CISA recommends certain measures that organizations should consider in establishing a foundational cybersecurity program. These measures include fixing known exploited security flaws in software, implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), prohibiting significantly risky bad practices, reducing Internet attack surfaces, and signing up for CISA's cyber hygiene vulnerability scanning. This article continues to discuss CISA's list of free cybersecurity services and tools to help organizations reduce cybersecurity risk and strengthen resiliency.
