Security Tools & Resources
Research-led tooling recommendations that line up with the threat and privacy themes covered across the briefing archive.
VPNs & Network Privacy
Encrypt traffic, reduce exposure, and keep remote work less observable. These links currently point straight to vendor sites.
Mullvad VPN
No-account privacy, WireGuard, RAM-only servers
Zero-logs VPN operated from Sweden. Accepts cash and crypto. No account email required — just a 16-digit account number. Audited annually by independent firms.
Proton VPN
Free tier, open source, Swiss jurisdiction
Swiss-based, open-source VPN with a free tier. Built by the Proton ecosystem for encrypted communications and privacy-first workflows.
Password Managers
Zero-knowledge vaults that generate, store, and autofill strong unique passwords. High-ROI hardening for individuals and teams.
Bitwarden
Open source, free tier, self-hostable
Open-source, end-to-end encrypted password manager with a free individual tier. Self-hostable for teams and passkey-ready.
1Password
Travel Mode, Watchtower, enterprise SCIM
Enterprise-grade password manager with Travel Mode, Watchtower breach monitoring, and strong SCIM/admin features for teams.
Email Security
Encrypted email, disposable aliases, and phishing defence. Email remains the likeliest initial access point for most teams.
Proton Mail
E2E encryption, zero-access, Swiss law
End-to-end encrypted email from Switzerland. Zero-access encryption means even Proton cannot read your inbox.
SimpleLogin
Unlimited aliases, reply pseudonymously
Email alias service that generates unique addresses per site to reduce breach fallout, spam, and address correlation.
Endpoint Protection
EDR, detection, and device hardening tools for workstations and servers. Behaviour-based visibility matters more than legacy signatures.
Malwarebytes
Ransomware rollback, real-time protection
Real-time protection and malware remediation across consumer and small business environments, with a reputation for low operational drag.
CrowdStrike Falcon Go
AI-native EDR, threat intelligence, cloud-delivered
Cloud-delivered endpoint protection that brings a lighter Falcon package into smaller environments without losing the threat intel edge.
