Today's world is ever more digital and interconnected; this means many organizations are now realizing the importance of cyber security and the need for increased risk management. One way that companies are helping protect themselves against cyber threats is to utilize Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) and Virtual Chief Information Security Officers (VCI/SOSs). These entities provide a wide range of cyber security services, including remote access and data protection, network security and endpoint security.
MSSPs provide a full suite of security services that protect from cybercrime and threats against organizations. These services can range from malware detection and prevention to monitoring of networks for suspicious activity. MSSPs are especially advantageous for organizations that have a remote workforce, as they can ensure that all employees have secure access to the corporate network.
VCI/SOSs have similar role to MSSPs but at a more strategic level. Instead of focusing primarily on providing services such as network security, end-point security and data protection, a VCI/SOS is concerned with managing all facets of a company’s cyber security – from assessing business risk to identifying emerging security trends. VCI/SOSs develop a comprehensive security strategy that takes into account the needs and objectives of the business, as well as potential security threats, and leverages both existing and emerging technologies.
Both MSSPs and VCI/SOSs are vitally important to organizations as they work to protect their networks, employees and data from malicious attacks, providing peace of mind that they are well-protected. With a professional organization such as an MSSP or VCI/SOS in place, businesses can be assured that they are maintaining the high level of security needed to remain competitive and protected in today's digital world.
