Virtual Chief Information Security Officer – Seattle, WA
Virtual CISO – Seattle, WA
Cyberattacks in Seattle are rising, with 10% of small businesses experiencing a breach in the past year. These attacks can lead to significant financial losses, data breaches, and damage to your reputation. A robust cybersecurity strategy is essential to safeguard your business and protect your customers’ sensitive information. These criminals target businesses that use, store, or transmit personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or login credentials.
While many companies invest in security appliances and software, these tools alone may not protect against sophisticated attacks. A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, oversee risk management, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. However, hiring a full-time CISO can be a significant financial burden for smaller businesses. That’s where a Virtual CISO (vCISO) can be a valuable solution, offering expert guidance and support at a fraction of the cost.
