Whether law firm or clothing store, hospital or factory, organizations of all types rely on information. And keeping that information secure from loss or breach requires an increasingly complex combination of tools and tactics. By outsourcing key security tasks to cyber security companies, organizations access critical expertise and gain peace of mind.
In the era of cloud computing and remote work, securing sensitive data and critical systems has grown more complicated. Security strategies must stretch far beyond the traditional security perimeter. Now, in addition to network security, cyber security must address cloud environments, as well as hundreds of endpoints, identities, applications, IoT devices and more.
At the same time, hackers have grown more sophisticated, with an alarming increase in the number of security breaches. Evolving privacy regulations from governments and industry add additional challenges. And a widening cyber security skills gap means organizations struggle to hire security talent in house.
Outsourcing cyber security operations allows companies to access critical expertise while focusing in-house resources on core business strategies. This can involve supplementing an in-house security team with additional talent or utilizing the services of cloud service providers. Additionally, many organizations partner with managed security service providers (MSSPs).
Hiring an outside cyber security consultant delivers key benefits that include:
Before choosing a cyber security company, start by identifying specific needs within the organization. For instance, a company that plans to transition to a hybrid workforce will need to implement security strategies for the new environment. A hospital will need to work within very strict regulatory boundaries.
Look for a security service provider that has a proven track record of delivering the services you need. Additionally, choose a provider with a customer base similar to your organization in terms of company size and industry. Instead of simply reading customer reviews, ask for references and follow up with them.
Your business needs will change over time. Therefore, be sure to choose a provider that offers the flexibility to scale services up or down to match your needs. Ask about service level agreements (SLAs) and review them carefully to determine that the provider can accommodate your security requirements.
