The Strategic Advantage of a vCISO in Enhancing Cloud Security

Many companies seem to be migrating to, or starting up, in the cloud. The cloud offers many advantages to the on-premise model for handling data, such as greater scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.  However, the complexity of cybersecurity challenges has grown considerably, as well. The very nature of the cloud is dynamic, distributed, and boundary-less, exposing assets to many cybersecurity threats, from data breaches and ransomware attacks to insider threats and compliance risks. There is still an existing belief that making use of the cloud comes with automatic security protections. This could not be farther from the truth.  It still comes as a surprise to many companies that while cybersecurity protections are available, it is up to the organization to ensure that they are implemented and configured according to their specific security standards.
 
This paper will explore the strategic advantages of employing a vCISO, focusing on enhancing an organization’s cybersecurity posture within the cloud. Through a detailed discussion and case studies, learn the tangible benefits of vCISO and provide business leaders with insights needed to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity strategy in the cloud era.
