This is where coupling vCISO guidance with a rented Security Operations Center (SOC) can make a difference. This combo provides Executive protection as and when its required allowing your business all of the protection for a fraction of the cost of full time staff and infrastructure.

Rental SOC and Hire vCISO – How it makes Cybersecurity Stronger

vCISO Role

A vCISO is a high-level security strategist, but on the outside. They offer guidance and expertise on the risk management and compliance aspects of cybersecurity policies for your unique business requirements. Consider them as your on-call C-level exec who:

• Builds security structures that coincide with your business targets
• Provides regulatory and industry standards guidance
• Provides counsel during incident response and crisis management
• Translates complex cybersecurity into terms your leadership team can understand

The vCISO is more about strategy than operational details. You make sure that your security efforts are targeted and effective, not reactive.

SOC Operations

It is the SOCs, which is the hub for constant, full-time tracking, defending, and acting on cyber threats on a 24-hour basis. When you hire a SOC, you get expert staff and the latest in technology — without the necessary outlay on expensive infrastructure. Benefits include:

• Automatically butts in whenever a Threat is detected on Your Network
• Quick incident response to isolate and minimize risk
• Real-time tracking with the latest technology
• Analysts skilled at the translation of alerts and escalation when necessary

When you rent a SOC, the burden is shifted and you have the resources to concentrate on your main business. In addition, renting firewalls, servers and routers means also that your network components are always up-to-date and updated to security.

Strategy Workshops

One of the other services that the vCISO offers in addition to your leased SOC is strategy workshops. They are working sessions to ensure that the security plan matches the needs of the business as it changes:

• Establish your most valuable assets and your greatest area of vulnerability
• Specify the responsibilities of roles and communication procedures in the event of incidents
• Regularly review and revise security policies and procedures
• Prepare for compliance audits and rule changes

Workshops promote a working relationship between your IT team’s leadership and a vCISO. They make sure that everyone knows what direction the security train is headed and what they have to contribute to get there.

Reporting

Transparent reporting is critical for effective and transparent communication about security posture and risks. Marrying vCISO support with SOC-as-a-service, you can now receive detailed reports that contain:

• Summaries of incidents and timelines for resolution
• Risk based approachs and threat trending
• Compliance status and gaps
• Suggestions for rebuilding and budget allocations

The reports allow business leaders to make informed decisions, fast and to show their accountability to those they serve.
