Integración de soluciones de ciberseguridad en software libre para la protección de las pymes aplicado para la Fundación de Atención al Discapacitado (F.A.D)

Abstract

This report addresses the implementation of a cybersecurity strategy using free software solutions for the Disability Care Foundation (F.A.D.). The evaluation of the F.A.D. current infrastructure revealed several critical points that need significant improvements to effectively protect its information assets. It was identified that the network infrastructure centralized in a main modem facilitates the management of security, although basic measures such as firewalls and antivirus have been implemented on all devices, these are not enough to face advanced threats. In addition, some devices have limitations on hardware, specifically on RAM and processors, which affects their performance and ability to run advanced security software. Disabling remote services also limits network management and monitoring. The solution proposal includes a series of technical and operational recommendations to improve the security posture of the F.A.D. Among the recommendations, the need to increase RAM and evaluate the update of processors in critical devices is highlighted. To strengthen security, we suggest the implementation of free software tools such as ClamAV for antivirus scans, VeraCrypt for encryption of sensitive data, and Bitwarden for secure password management. These measures are designed to create a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that protects the FDA’s information assets, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the organization’s critical data.
