Is your business one cyberattack away from chaos? Most companies don’t think about cybersecurity until they’re in crisis mode—but by then, the damage is done.
In this episode, Jara Rowe talks with Michael Magyar, an experienced virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO). They cover what a vCISO does, why more companies are choosing virtual over full-time, and how to know when it’s time to bring one in. Michael shares examples of helping businesses avoid costly mistakes, explains how vCISOs assess risk, and offers advice for small teams trying to do more with less.
