Cybersecurity has been a trending topic during the pandemic for good reason: as workforces became remote, cyber attacks spiked. What can you do to keep your applications and teams secure?
Python tools like Dirsearch and NoSQLMap not only help with penetration testing, but can also be useful for auditing remote employees in general, and remote development teams in particular.
If you use Python for security-testing applications, Python scripts that help with TCP packet injection, packet sniffing and port scanning can also be very useful.
What about enterprise security? With new critical vulnerabilities being found on a daily basis, enterprise applications have never been at greater risk (see our enterprise security options). The ActiveState Platform now shows all the vulnerabilities in your Python, Perl and Tcl environments so you can take action before they become an issue. Learn more about our vulnerability reporting or sign up here to get access for your ActiveState Platform account.
Finally, phishing emails have become a plague as of late. While most modern web browsers, antivirus software and email clients are pretty good at detecting phishing websites at the source, you can create your own phishing detector with Python to make sure your remote workforce stays safe.
(To get started building your own Phishing detector, make sure you get a copy of our Phishing URL Detection runtime environment for Windows and Linux. It comes with a version of Python and all the packages you will need for the task.)
