As part of our continuing mission to reduce cybersecurity risk across U.S. critical infrastructure partners and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, CISA has compiled a list of free cybersecurity tools and services to help organizations further advance their security capabilities. This living repository includes cybersecurity services provided by CISA, widely used open source tools, and free tools and services offered by private and public sector organizations across the cybersecurity community. CISA will implement a process for organizations to submit additional free tools and services for inclusion on this list in the future.
The list is not comprehensive and is subject to change pending future additions. CISA applies neutral principles and criteria to add items and maintains sole and unreviewable discretion over the determination of items included. CISA does not attest to the suitability or effectiveness of these services and tools for any particular use case. CISA does not endorse any commercial product or service. Any reference to specific commercial products, processes, or services by service mark, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not constitute or imply their endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by CISA.

Many good tools in here, but most are aimed at businesses or folks working to secure businesses. There are still some good ones you can use on a personal level, though. Just be careful with the ones that aren't individually focused or more geared to professional use. It's easy to get paranoid when you don't understand what's going on. I'm happy to answer questions to help, though.
One made me laugh. Paros Proxy is listed. Paros hasn't been updated since 2006, but it's still a great (but very basic) proxy tool for web application penetration testing. It has since been eclipsed by tools that have also been retired. The newest tools in that area are Burp Suite and ZAP. That area has come along way since I started.

I'd love to find a list that my clients could use. These would be people who are not all that tech savvy!

SGT James Murphy - Most of ours aren't tech savvy either. We do have a few where our point of contact is knowledgeable. They are fun to work with.
Unfortunately, cybersecurity isn't a one size fits all proposition. About the best advice I could give is to use professional hardware and software at all times (none of the free, personal plans), patch that software when the vendor says to, encrypt your computer's hard drive, be selective about which WiFi networks you connect to, backup your data using a reputable and professionals service, and use long passwords and multi-factor authentication.
