Cybersecurity risks and threats are among the top-3 business risks for all industries all over the world. Meanwhile, there is a huge lack in qualified experts in the market. And they are very expensive to retain in-house, especially if you do not have full-time tasks for them. Therefore, many businesses assign cybersecurity functions to IT department, that is cost-effective, but is not always security-effective for the company. During the seminar, we described new approaches in outsourcing cybersecurity expertise (CISO and other positions/roles) and internal projects and defined most relevant businesses and industries for such shift.
In particular we considered:
- Building cybersecurity expertise with virtual external staff
- Difference between outstaffing and "virtual cybersecurity experts"
- Main benefits you get with "as a service" cybersecurity team
- How to create a "virtual team" fitting your business
- Expertise and works usual for "virtual cybersecurity teams"
