Virtual CISO Services
In recent years, cybercrime has been on the rise around the world. Mega corporations, political organizations, and small businesses have all been under attack. Even individuals are scammed daily. Careers and businesses have been destroyed due to breaches in security. In any industry, your customers and employees deserve to have their information protected. Advantage Technology will help you accomplish this.
In heavily regulated industries, such as healthcare, a single data breach can cost a business hundreds of thousands of dollars. Personal health information sells at a higher dollar value than credit card numbers. Personal health information is used for a wide range of nefarious purposes, from forging prescriptions for drugs to identity fraud and even launching fraudulent lawsuits.
The only way to protect yourself from cybercrime is with a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who understands your business, information technology, and human behavior. In the absence of the ability to employ a CISO full time, a quality virtual CISO will develop procedures and policies to keep your information safe and secure.
