Businesses in St. Louis and across Missouri face increased data and security threats. The number of major data breaches reported in 2021 alone (1,291) has far eclipsed those reported in 2020. Of course, this number includes only those reported incidents leaving the actual number much higher. Unfortunately, any business that stores, processes, maintains, or transmits personally identifiable information (PII) is at risk. To counteract the risk of a costly data breach, it is critical to develop, implement, and regularly update data and system protection tactics. Some elect to hire a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to manage the process. However, this solution may not be viable due to the expense and other resource constraints. For many businesses, the best course of action is to engage the services of a Virtual CISO.
A Virtual CISO provides St. Louis businesses with expert guidance and support to protect systems and data. This often includes ensuring an appropriate level of network and cloud security, ongoing testing, and vulnerability scans, developing policies and procedures, aligning with industry and compliance requirements, preparing incident response plans, and other proven practices to minimize the risk of a cyber-attack.
