VIRTUAL CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER
A New Service for Smaller Organizations
Holistic Cybersecurity just became attainable for small and medium businesses as a result of a new methodology articulated in the August 2024 ISE magazine article and on this site.
Intention of the CYBYR.COM VCSO Service
Every small and medium size organization is protected from attack.
Introduction | ||
Our free SMB workshop revealed 60+ new zero and low-cost actions to reduce risk. The Cybyr.com VCSO service puts those zero or low-cost ideas into action for you structured as 10 Layers of Defense, focusing on reduced risk, upgrading your expertise and setting you up to be self-sufficient in the future. It’s a Virtual Chief Security Officer (VCSO) service because it avoids the need to hire scarce full-time security experts as staff – being your on-demand partner when you need it. It begins with an initial engagement that aligns with your organization beginning with a short but essential executive orientation. This includes discussion of the competitive and commercial advantages, legal responsibilities and conformance of the holistic methodology. It evaluates your current security posture, using our unique Cybyrscore ™ laying out and prioritizing essential actions. It follows up by partnering with you to create the necessary actions shown below and provides ongoing progress, cybersecurity awareness, enhancing expertise and update reviews as needed. |
Initial Engagement includes the first quarterly review – see below.
Note: These are the typical actions required to reduce risk by strengthening all aspects of the operation. Some may already be in place or require updates. Others, such as development, OT network, Cloud strategy, manufacturing and critical infrastructure security may apply. Cybyr.com provides these as optional expert services
* Cybyr.com provides independent services and is not an agent or reseller of third party products.
