Securing your business data and ensuring the same level of security to customer’s sensitive information requires constant attention and proper guidance of an executive-level leadership popularly known as CISO (Chief Information Security Officer). A CISO is responsible for defining and enforcing organizations’ cybersecurity culture, policies, procedure, and security architecture. The challenge here is that not many organizations can afford a full-time executive-level CISO to oversee these functions, given the limited access to cybersecurity experts in the market today. Hence there is a need to bring such leadership insight through Virtual CISO to address the following challenges which many organizations face.
Key Cyber Security Challenges
