Episode 5 - What is a vCISO?

vCISO, or a virtual Chief Information Security Officer, is part of a security team that can assist an organization to review their security posture from an overall perspective while minimizing the cost of hiring a full-time hire. Learn more about what a vCISO does and how vCISOs can fit into an organization, as well as the benefits.

What to Know -

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is often thought of as a full-time employee with an extensive amount of experience and knowledge - and a high salary requirement.  A vCISO is an option to benefit from the contributions of a CISO without the full-time salary.  In fact, vCISOs an often pair with an existing CISO or ISO to support their efforts for a period of time to act as a stop-gap during a transition or as a fresh set of eyes.

Why You Should Care - 

The benefits provided by vCISOs cannot be understated.  And for many, it was thought their organization was too small to even consider a CISO.  Now organizations of all sizes, industries, or levels of security maturity can reap the benefits and make it fit.
