The Global Cyber Alliance is dedicated to collaboration and addressing needs with a global reach. We develop our cybersecurity toolkits in direct response to the need for practical resources that organizations and individuals can use to improve their cyber defenses. The toolkits offer hands-on tools and resources rather than giving general guidance that users are uncertain how to implement.
The toolkits are dynamic, vendor-agnostic clearinghouses of GCA-vetted tools and resources. GCA assesses tools for how they address specific standards including the Center for Internet Security®, Inc. (CIS®) Controls, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Essentials, and the Australia Cyber Security Centre’s Mitigation Strategies. All of these recommendations are globally recognized cybersecurity standards. According to CIS, implementation of Group 1 of the CIS Controls can prevent up to 86% of the most common cyber attacks.
Additional selection criteria include a description of the tool’s functionality, the level of IT knowledge required for use, and the estimated time required to setup and/or use each tool. Toolkit users may request additional information, and we incorporate input and feedback from the GCA Change Control Board, Advisory Groups, and key partners to continually inform future versions of the toolkits.
GCA includes third-party content (such as tools, resources, guides, training, and videos) as a service to users of the toolkits. However, use of third-party tools or interaction with third parties are activities solely between the user and the third party. GCA makes no representations or warranties regarding any third-party content or dealings. GCA reviews the tools included in the toolkits regularly to determine if tools are still valid, free, and appropriate for the specific toolkit and/or toolbox.
All tools and resources must meet our requirements, outlined in our Toolkit Selection Guidelines. If you would like to recommend a tool or resource that meets those requirements, please submit an application. For any other questions regarding tool or resource inclusion, please contact us at [email protected].

“Time” defines the approximate time it will take to implement the tool, including installation and setup. Based on your system and experience, the time may be longer or shorter than the time estimated.
Requires minimal technical knowledge to complete setup. Users with little-to-no familiarity with computer systems will still easily be able to implement Level 1 tools.
Requires basic technical understanding of operating systems and settings controls. Users with a basic understanding will be able to easily implement Level 2 tools.
Requires an intermediate level of understanding to implement. Users will need an intermediate understanding of computer systems and code languages.
Requires advanced levels of understanding of computer systems, settings and code languages. Users will need experience with advanced system configurations.
