The document discusses building a security program with zero budget by using open source and free tools. It provides recommendations for tools to use at each step: asset discovery (NetDB), vulnerability scanning (OpenVAS), web application scanning (Arachni, ZAP), intrusion detection (osquery, Sysmon), configuration management (CIS benchmarks, Ansible), patching (Windows, Linux), logging (ElasticStack), and breach simulation (CALDERA, Infection Monkey). It emphasizes starting with a solid documentation foundation and focusing on people, processes and tools to build security from the ground up.
