Risk Nothing. Get the Security Expertise You Need To Protect Your Data and Business.
Organizations big and small continue to fall victim to cybercrime. IT security and data management experts agree that the increased sophistication of attacks is making it extremely challenging for companies to manage their security postures. This is true across all industries but especially education, healthcare, government, and manufacturing – industries hardest hit in 2020.
Many organizations are challenged in finding and affording cybersecurity expertise. The result is poor understanding of security vulnerabilities, mediocre strategies, and cobbled-together point products and solutions. Increasingly, organizations are leveraging the deep expertise of virtual chief information security officers (vCISOs) to gain peace of mind.
Mindsight’s vCISO delivers security expertise at an affordable price – giving emerging and midmarket companies the deep security knowledge, processes and protection they need. With credentials that include CISSP, CCIE, OSINT, as well as certified ethical hacker and social engineer designations, our vCISO becomes a trusted extension of your IT team.
