Ever wondered about the enigmatic world of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)? Well, think of them as the custodians of digital safety within a company. Their job involves much more than just crafting and enforcing information security policies. On a day-to-day basis, they're in constant communication with top-level executives like the CEO or Chief Financial Officer, as well as fellow security experts and tech teams. Together, they strategise on how to stay ahead of cyber threats, from the latest risks to potential attacks. But it's not just about the here and now. CISOs are also the architects of long-term cybersecurity plans that align with the organisation's objectives. They ensure the company remains compliant with regulations, continuously assess and manage risks, and spearhead training initiatives for staff. And when the unexpected strikes, like a cyber breach, they're the ones leading the charge. From coordinating with vendors to implementing response plans, they navigate the storm with grace, sometimes even calling upon external experts and legal counsel for support. #ITTalent #ITRecruitment #ITJobs #ITCareers #ITRecruitment #CISO #ITLeaders #STEM #CareerGrowth #InfoSecJobs #InfoSecCareers #InformationSecurity #JobsInIT #CSuiteJobs #CSuiteRecruitment #ChiefInformationSecurityOfficer #ChiefSecurityOfficer #ITManagers

Ever wondered what an Outsourced CISO is? 🤔💼 An Outsourced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a strategic cybersecurity leader hired externally to oversee an organisation's security posture and policies. They provide an essential function in an organisation as the source of security expertise. They bring expertise in risk management, compliance, and threat mitigation without the need for a full-time in-house hire. Outsourced CISOs offer tailored security solutions, drive proactive security measures, and ensure regulatory compliance, all while optimising costs. Think of them as your go-to guardian for navigating the complex landscape of cybersecurity. Establishing and retaining the necessary in-depth knowledge can be difficult and expensive for an organisation. Risk X can provide you with the assurance and backup that you require on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis with one of our Outsourced CISOs.

Security, legal, and compliance teams join forces. Traditionally, compliance was a separate function. Compliance teams worked independently with little interaction with the security teams and vice versa. With the increase in consequences for non-compliance, the days of working in silos are over. In October 2023, the SEC charged SolarWinds' former CISO with fraud and internal control failures related to the 2020 cyberattack. This highlights the importance of communication and collaboration among the board, legal, compliance, and security teams. Organizations and their boards must consider the liabilities in case of a breach. The CISO and the CTO, CIO, or cyber expert on the board are likely to be held responsible. This places a heavier burden on security professionals who are now focusing on enhancing security practices and fostering collaboration with legal and compliance teams. Aligning priorities, roles, and responsibilities will enhance the security posture and empower legal and compliance teams to be more self-sufficient. Key Points on How Security and Compliance Teams are Collaborating: - 91% are increasing security training for legal and compliance teams. - 90% are enhancing legal and compliance training for security teams. - 91% state that everyone on their security team incorporates compliance into their Adding Value - Delivering Results - Your Trusted Cyber Security Advisor #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityAssessment #PenetrationTesting #DigitalResilience #securitymanagement #businesscontinuityplanning #emergencypreparedness #securityservice #ASOC #AegerGroup

I look back on a lot of my experience in Cyber Security and one thing I can say that I'm absolutely proud of is never working in the same role twice. Starting out in IT and working through Help Desk, System Administration, Network Administration and Network Ops gave me a full lifecycle appreciation for IT. My Cyber experience was very similiar. I started off in Compliance Assessements, then moved into building compliance packages. This gave me a great understanding of GRC and frameworks. From there I moved into Cyber Incident Management before transitioning to managing a SOC, both for large scale Fortune 500 enterprises. Again this gave me a complete picture from Alert and Hunting engineering all the way up through large scale Incident Response. My previous experience also helped me work with Second and Third Line of Defense teams to help with compliance efforts and documentation. Without all of that experience I wouldn’t be able to do my job as a Director of a Government focused MSSP. I know the compliance frameworks of our clients, I know how our solution helps them meet those requirements, I get to take my large enterprise experience and apply it across the board when it comes to operating a SOC, and God forbid if something happens to your org I know who to call and how to run a War Room. Always strive to understand the whole picture, if you’ve specialized in one field for awhile don’t be afraid to reach out to another expert and understand how it works. Nothing wrong with having full holisitic knowledge of the field. #SecOps #GRC #cybersecurity
