Cybersecurity is one of the top challenges for businesses of all sizes. Ransomware, phishing attacks, and increasing compliance regulations mean that not having a cybersecurity strategy is simply not an option.

Despite increasing efforts from law enforcement, organizations must fend for themselves. Effective cybersecurity tools are the best way to ensure your customers and employees are protected.

The team at Expert Insights knows that finding the right solution can sometimes feel like an impossible task. There are thousands of tools on the market, and the effort required to cut through the hype makes finding a solution that fits your unique requirements a time consuming process.

One problem we hear again and again from cybersecurity buyers, and even vendors, is that cybersecurity solution categories are very difficult to navigate. As a buyer, you start with a use case. Let’s say, stopping users from sharing data externally via Microsoft Teams.

How do you start looking for the right tool? Where does sit in your tech stack? it Is it a DLP solution? An email security tool? A CASB? A compliance platform? We’ve seen products that deliver on these use cases individually, as well as platform-based approaches that claim to do it all-in-one.

Our #1 goal at Expert Insights is to make the process of finding the right cybersecurity tools more straightforward. We scrutinize the offerings of leading tech vendors and create easy to use resources for you to find the right tech to solve your problems.

As part of this mission, I recently spoke with over 30 experts across six of the cybersecurity topics we’re asked about the most: email security, identity and access management, zero trust network access, phishing, remote IT management, and cloud backup and recovery.

I asked all of these experts the same simple question: How can organizations find the right tool for them?

We pulled together all of their responses in a series of articles designed to help users find the right tool:

Our hope is that these resources help businesses of all sizes as they look to implement the right cybersecurity solutions. This ethos is really at the heart of all that we do here at Expert Insights.

If you have a story to share about finding the right cybersecurity software, please do get in touch with the Expert Insights team. Sharing your challenges and how you overcome them can be a great way of helping others in the same situation.

Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!
