Virtual CISO: An Easier Way to Get the InfoSec Services You Need By ImageQuest Imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing your bank is protected from data breaches and cyber risks, all while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Typically, this requires an executive known as a Chief Information Security Officer or a CISO. However, hiring a full-time CISO is challenging. There’s not yet a huge supply of them; they can pick where they want to live. It’s an expensive position, and even if you do hire one, retaining them when they get a better offer is hard. Now, imagine achieving this situation without recruiting and hiring a full-time CISO. Sound too good to be true? Enter the Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO). This solution provides banks with C-level security expertise on a fractional basis, fulfilling all cybersecurity needs with a much smaller financial commitment. A vCISO can assess your organization’s security posture, develop tailored security strategies, oversee risk assessments and guide your internal security staff while aligning with your business objectives. 21 West Virginia Banker
