What is a vCISO? Why does your business need one?

 

A VCiso?

Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) have been the focus of a tremendous number of data breaches and cyber-attacks recently.  According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, the 58.9 million SMBs in the U.S. that employ 47.5% of the nation’s workforce were the target of 2 out of 3 of all cyber-crimes in 2018 alone.  What’s worse is that 60% of SMBs go out of business within six months of a cyber-attack. Although large corporations can shoulder a good portion of the financial blow and reputational damage when hit by a data breach, SMBs don’t have the same luxury.  It is for this reason that SMBs should consider a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) to help manage and implement their cybersecurity and privacy strategies.  Virtual CISOs turn their leadership and project prioritization expertise into focused strategies that help SMBs stay under budget and optimize forward progress.
