As power grid evolves, so must cybersecurity.

I have started to offer vCISO services. What is this and why would a company want a fractional CISO? Both large and small companies, and those in between, need the advice and guidance policy, strategy, board presentations…) that an experienced security leader can offer, at a fraction of the cost of hiring and retaining the same talent. A vCISO provides the leadership services you would expect from a Chief Information Security Officer, on a fractional basis, making it more affordable especially for small to medium sized businesses. I’ll expand more on the benefits of having a vCISO, and when outsourcing may be a good solution for staffing and services in an upcoming article!

This is a very good overview of what many would call ‘basic hygiene‘ or the ‘bare minimum‘ for corporate cybersecurity defense. There are some additional vendors with new solutions, which I might add to the list, such as: Conventus NorthStar (get a view to your total security posture and enterprise risk using data you already have), BitGlass (inline CASB that goes beyond app discovery),  Venafi (machine identity protection), SafeBreach (continuous automated red team testing). As I start to regularly review new and innovative vendor solutions, I will start a series of posts with my findings.
