The shortage of qualified cybersecurity employees is one of today’s biggest cyber risks. How can small and midsized enterprises prioritize sufficient time and competencies on their IT security? Can the possibility of having a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) on retainer be the effective way of safeguarding and managing IT security?
Every organization in the United States is at risk of cyber-attacks that can disrupt corporate operations as a result of possible collateral incidents from cyber operations related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In a recent release from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), CISA Director Jen Easterly stated:
“We need to be prepared for the potential of foreign influence operations to negatively impact various aspects of our critical infrastructure with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine geopolitical tensions. We encourage leaders at every organization to take proactive steps to assess their risks from information manipulation and mitigate the impact of potential foreign influence operations.”
