| Titre | What is a virtual CISO? |
| Texte | This blog was written by a third party author. Organization’s today host a wide range of information that, due to its external value to competitors, nation-states, or cybercriminals, needs to be properly protected. The role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is to establish and maintain the organizational strategy and execution to protect its sensitive and valuable information assets and surrounding technologies. But many organizations, while having data that needs protecting, choose to utilize a virtual CISO (vCISO) to address the needs of the CISO role rather than hire one internally. What is virtual Chief Information Security Officer? The vCISO is a security practitioner who uses the culmination of their years of cybersecurity and industry experience to help organizations with developing and managing the implementation of the organization’s information security program. At a high level, vCISOs help to architect the organization’s security strategy, with some helping to also manage its’ implementation. Internal Security staff may still exist, either reporting to or working with the vCISO and their team to execute an impactful security program. Additionally, the vCISO is usually expected to be able to present the organization’s state of information security to an organization’s board, executive team, auditors, or regulators. vCISOs can provide value to organizations by helping with a number of aspects of the overall information security program, including: Information security planning and management activities Organizational and management structure Initiatives affecting information practices Security risk management activities Evaluation of third parties with access to organizational data Coordination of audits by regulators or customers Why are vCISOs becoming more popular? The idea of a virtual CISO has grown in demand with organizations for a number of reasons: CISOs are in demand – Cybersecurity has moved to the forefront of organizational concern. With the rise in cyberattacks, data breaches, sophistication in attacks, and the focus locked in on an organization’s information, organizations wanting to put a comprehensive set of controls and technologies in place need a CISO. A vCISO allows organization to quickly fill a vCISO role, without needing to go through the hiring process. CISOs are expensive – According to salary.com, the average CISO costs over $200,000 a year. While nearly every organization needs a CISO, not every one of them can afford one. A vCISO allows organizations to avoid the expense of employing one in-house full-time, only paying for the services and time used. vCISOs can be more experienced – A vCISO has implemented information security programs for many clients in a diverse set of industries and sizes, giving them a broad range of expertise that can be applied to your organization. vCISOs can be anywhere – Rather than needing to hire someone locally (which limits your options) or need to help pay for a candidate to move, the vCISO works as a consultant, working from just about anywhere, giving the organization exposure to more potential candidates. vCISOs are a consumption-based option – While not every vCISO works the same, this is a contractor who will perform the tasks based on an agreed upon scope of work. So, you’re paying for the services you want from them. Use Cases for a vCISO The choice of a vCISO versus a full-time CISO may still be unclear. So, allow me to provide a list of a few possible use cases for when a vCISO m |
