Flexible and efficient cybersecurity leadership to protect your systems and information.
A Multidisciplinary Team of Cybersecurity Professionals
Information security is now a priority for both large and small businesses. However, lack of expertise, limited staff capacity, and stretched budget are some challenges organisations face when creating and implementing their security and compliance strategy. Moreover, the constantly evolving threat landscape requires capabilities beyond traditional operational IT and security managers. Hiring a full-time CISO doesn’t make sense for most organisations considering the budget and skill gaps.
CISO compensation has risen to $584,000 this year, up 15% from $509,000 last year and 23% from $473,000 in 2020.
