It has as its objective the protecting computers, networks and software from such cyber-attacks. The diversity and complexity of the attacks required the development of various tools to identify security breaches, attacks and to respond to them through various measures. This work presents the analysis of certain software and hardware tools in the field of cybersecurity. The analyzed software tools are: GravityZone Ultra, GravityZone Full Disk Encryption, GravityZone Patch Management, Rapid 7 Vulnerability Management and Nessus Professional. Between this hardware tools are presented: Ultimate Forensic Write Protection Kit II, TX1 Forensic Imager and Firewall - ASA 5506 with FirePOWER services. These tools have been analysed from the point of view of the performed operations, automatic detection, investigation and response and reporting and notifications. Within the performed operations were considered: prevention actions, protection against threats, firewall, equipment control and application control. The paper presents the results of the run of these applications within the IT infrastructure of an organization, presenting a comparative analysis of vulnerability assessment, malware detection, automated response and report generation. At the conclusions are presented the positive components furnished by every analyzed instrument. |
