Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) advisory services help businesses develop, mature, and manage cybersecurity programs that guard sensitive information, strengthen brand reputation, and differentiate products. Partnering with AIIT gives you access to a team of skilled security professionals that serve as a virtual CISO (vCISO), helping you build and maintain a program that is flexible and adaptive to the needs of its stakeholders

CISO responsibilities

• Security operations: Real-time analysis of immediate threats, and triage when something goes wrong
• Cyberrisk and cyber intelligence: Keeping abreast of developing security threats, and helping the board understand potential security problems that might arise from acquisitions or other big business moves
• Data loss and fraud prevention: Making sure internal staff doesn’t misuse or steal data
• Security architecture: Planning, buying, and rolling out security hardware and software, and making sure IT and network infrastructure is designed with best security practices in mind
• Identity and access management: Ensuring that only authorized people have access to restricted data and systems
• Program management: Keeping ahead of security needs by implementing programs or projects that mitigate risks—regular system patches, for instance
• Investigations and forensics: Determining what went wrong in a breach, dealing with those responsible if they’re internal, and planning to avoid repeats of the same crisis
• Governance: Making sure all of the above initiatives run smoothly and get the funding they need—and that corporate leadership understands their importance
