Understanding the various tools used for cybersecurity monitoring is essential for anyone who handles security data. These tools would allow for better and more efficient storage, analysis, and retrieval, whenever such data becomes necessary. Accordingly, some standard tools used for cybersecurity applications are Power BI and Python. In this article, the author will discuss each of these tools and provide a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
On the one hand, Power BI refers to a variety of software that is developed by Microsoft. Because of the variety of components and offered functionalities, this software can quickly analyze raw information or data and convert them into "visually compelling insights" in the form of graphs, tables, and charts, among others CITATION Ish21 \l 1033 (Isha, 2021). Accordingly, these data analysis tools are currently used in various industries such as hospitality, healthcare, and even software development, among others, because its dashboard allows for complete customizability that can cater to the organization's analytic needs. This widespread use is because of the ease-of-use, simplicity, and straightforward application of the same.In contrast to Python, Power BI also allows for greater modes of interconnectivity and data input such as Salesforce, Google, Analytics, and Microsoft Azure, among others. Thus, additional data may easily be sourced from various external sources and integrated to one’s data in conducting cybersecurity analysis. Thus, organizations that prefer their cybersecurity data to be easily analyzed ...
