7 of the Best Notetaking Apps for Cyber Security Professionals

Notetaking is integral to any cyber security professional’s workday. It allows you to capture your thoughts, document what needs to be done, and create a knowledge base you can reference.

Because our job can become very technical, you may feel overloaded with the number of things you must remember:

• Remember to complete this task.
• Remember this esoteric command to enumerate a Windows machine.
• Remember to perform this process when investigating malicious activity.
• And so on…

The list of things you need to remember is endless!

This is why it’s so important to have a tool to capture this information and take the stress of remembering everything off of yourself. This article details seven notetaking apps that can be game-changers for your professional and personal life if used correctly.
