CISO as a Service (CISOaaS) refers to a model where organizations engage the services of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) on a temporary or outsourced basis rather than hiring a full-time CISO as a permanent employee. In this model, a company can access the expertise and guidance of a CISO without the long-term commitment and expense associated with hiring a full-time executive.
CISOs play a crucial role in ensuring the security of an organization’s information assets and technology infrastructure. They are responsible for developing and implementing cybersecurity strategies, managing risks, overseeing compliance with regulations and standards, and establishing incident response and recovery plans.
