Cyber security as a service can add capability and is best leveraged to enhance integrated teams as part of a holistic risk management program. There’s a lot to do, bring the tools you can!

Senior Director, Technology Solutions and Analytics in Telecommunication4 years ago

We thought outsourcing the entire security effort would provide us with experts in the field, which is mostly true, but they don't react as quickly to security incidents like our internal team did. I quickly found out that you need an internal resource that can drive results. Outsourcing cybersecurity is no different than outsourcing another business function; at the end of the day, someone internal has to be there to manage the relationship and keep the outsourcer accountable.

We’ve had really negative experiences outsourcing cyber functions. On paper it makes sense, but in practice it failed for us.
