About ProductDir

ProductDir is a curated directory of tools and resources for cybersecurity, privacy, productivity, and IT management. Every tool listed here has been personally vetted and is genuinely recommended.

Who Curates This?

This directory is maintained by Nelson Lopes, an IT Director and CISSP-certified cybersecurity professional with years of hands-on experience across enterprise security, IT service management, and technology leadership. The tools listed here are ones actually used in professional environments — not paid placements.

Our Criteria

Tools are selected based on:

• Real-world use — Every tool has been tested in production environments
• Security & privacy — We prioritize tools that respect user data
• Quality & reliability — Only established, well-maintained products
• Value — Free and open-source alternatives are always highlighted

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the directory free and maintained. We never let affiliate relationships influence which tools are listed or recommended. Free and open-source tools are always clearly marked.
