Presently cybersecurity fortification is a specialized field that requires a professional with in-depth comprehension of the industry and real-time experience. However, there is a scarcity of personnel with great skills in the cybersecurity sector. And those who have such extraordinary skills are high in demand. The concept of Virtual CISO (vCISO) is proving to be an escape route to filling the void.
The Virtual Chief Security Officer plays the role of a senior-level expert who aids in designing, implementing and administering the vigorous cybersecurity architecture inside an organization. Plus, they are responsible for making all the major decisions related to information security. A CISO (here vCISO) takes care of all cybersecurity aspects, for instance, information security strategy and policy. This incorporates threat activity reporting, regulatory compliance, cyber insurance procurement, cyber-attack recovery planning, HR Management, stakeholders onboarding, incident response planning, etc.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the companies shifted to remote settings, which caused misaligned networks and enabled the cybercriminals to take advantage of that loophole. 2020 has witnessed a 358% hike in malware attacks compared to 2019 and cyber-attacks increased by 125% globally through 2021.
As per stats of December 2022, investment fraud proved to be the most costly form of cyber invasion. About $70,811 were lost per cyber victim. But a qualified CISO or vCISO can save companies from facing such huge losses.
The requirement for information security is skyrocketing. Still, there are so many organizations that struggle hard to find a qualified professional that fits in the role. A vCISO is an expert-level professional who is suitably qualified to handle all the information security aspects remotely.
A vCISO is a senior-level authority contracted by a firm to cater to and manage its cybersecurity requirements and compliance programs respectively by using robust resources. A vCISO holds years of rich experience and learns deployed technology of the client organization. Plus, it establishes relationships with C-suite, IT team, and other executives.
A vCISO uses its knowledge and industry experiences to craft, deploy, manage, and deliver core information security shielding that every firm requires in place.
