Virtual CISO
Virtual CISO in brief
The amount of information is growing exponentially and so is the need to secure it. A virtual security manager – more commonly known as vCISO – is the go-to player and playmaker for small and why not bigger companies, when it comes to security.
Security should support business and vCISO is often the best and easiest way for a small organization to approach this problem. Internally, expertise and leadership are needed. On the other hand, we want to send out a message of credibility.
The vCISO service brings the role and expertise of a security manager to an organization with the appropriate input. In addition to cost efficiency and flexibility, the desired operation and competence profile can be more accurately defined.
The role and service of vCISO requires a lot of experience, continuous learning, the ability to take responsibility, and keep the organization, as well as the vCISO, ahead of the attackers and their latest technologies.
