As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, organizations are realizing the importance of having a robust and comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Akitek Consulting offers Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services to help organizations effectively manage and enhance their cybersecurity posture. What is a vCISO? A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer, or vCISO, is an outsourced or virtual expert who takes on the responsibilities of a traditional in-house CISO. With extensive experience and expertise in cybersecurity, the vCISO plays a crucial role in developing and implementing cybersecurity policies, strategies, and practices within an organization. The vCISO assumes various key responsibilities to ensure that an organization’s digital assets are effectively protected, such as Cybersecurity Strategy Development, Risk Assessment and Management, Security Policy and Procedure Development, Security Incident Response Planning, and Collaboration and Communication with in-house IT teams, executive leadership, and stakeholders.
