Do you ever wonder why cybersecurity costs continue to escalate, while quality seems to get worse? You know the old adage, “You get what you pay for.†Conventional wisdom dictates, if you want a high-quality product or service, you have to pay more for it. Conversely, if you pay less for a product or service, you can expect less in performance and quality. But does that proverbial axiom always hold true?
A shortage of skilled security talent is boosting cybersecurity services
Cybersecurity job openings are soaring, yet companies don’t have the talent to fill them. In our current talent gap, a third of the 1.8 million cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. go unfilled because of a lack of skills and experience. Even when a business is lucky enough to find a quality worker, corporate history is replete with overworked and burned-out cybersecurity workers. To make matters worse, they are often overlooked when things go right, but scorned when things go wrong. Beyond all of this, the high cost involved in finding and hiring skilled and experienced security personnel is beyond the reach of many small and medium sized businesses (SMBs).
To protect their businesses from cyberthreats, SMBs are taking advantage of third-party service providers to defend against and respond to cyberattacks. The diversity of cybersecurity services seems endless, with risk management, website security testing, identity and access management, threat intelligence, incident response, malware protection, and perimeter security, to name a few.
Cybersecurity services offer many different approaches, including fully automated services, managed services, and hybrid services where the in-house security team works in combination with the service provider.
