2024 In Review - Our Favorite Security tools
Sprinkle AI everywhere.
Looking back on this year there seems to be a significant shift toward AI integration, cloud security, and enhanced operational efficiency in modern security operations. These platforms cover critical areas such as email security, threat intelligence, data protection (DLP), network segmentation (Zero Trust), and vulnerability assessment. The below includes both sophisticated next-generation enterprise platforms and industry-standard tools essential for security audits and penetration testing.
Here's a list of the tools and frameworks—along with their key strengths
Abnormal Security: AI Security Mailbox
Introduces an “AI coworker” for email protection that offers personalized responses to employees reporting potential attacks and explains the reasoning behind its detection of malicious, spam, or graymail messages.Arctic Wolf: Aurora Platform Expansion
