WHAT IS DRIVING THE INCREASING POPULARITY OF vCISOs?
The adoption of virtual Chief Information Security Officers (vCISOs) is on the rise due to several compelling factors:
High Demand for CISOs
In today's landscape, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. The surge in cyber threats, data breaches, and the complexity of attacks has elevated the need for CISOs. By opting for a vCISO, organizations can swiftly fill this critical role without the lengthy hiring process.
Cost-Efficiency
Employing a full-time CISO can be expensive, with average annual salaries exceeding $200,000. While most organizations require a CISO, not all can afford one. vCISOs offer a cost-effective alternative, allowing organizations to access CISO expertise without the financial commitment of a full-time hire.
Experience and Expertise
vCISOs often bring a wealth of experience, having implemented information security programs for various clients across different vCISO industries and company sizes. This diverse background equips them with a broad skill set that can benefit your organization.
Geographic Flexibility
Unlike hiring a local candidate, vCISOs operate as consultants and can work remotely from virtually anywhere. This geographical flexibility widens the pool of potential candidates and allows organizations to tap into a broader talent pool.
Consumption-Based Model
vCISOs typically work on a contracted basis, performing tasks based on a predetermined scope of work. This approach ensures that organizations only pay for the specific services they require, making it a more flexible and cost-effective option.
