Why do Technology Firms need Cybersecurity consulting?
While many industry leaders believe that technology firms do not need help from security and IT infrastructure consultants, this is hardly true. On the contrary, they need more specialized services. They are probably more susceptible to security breaches by cybercriminals than companies in other industries. On the one hand, they are looking to achieve optimal uptimes for their customers. On the other hand, they are constantly working on new solutions leaving wide gaps in security.
Technology companies need to integrate Cybersecurity and risk management into their software development lifecycle and align their information security practices.
The burden of establishing information security and IT governance practices is higher on technology companies due to the following reasons:
- They focus on designing mission-critical applications, which need scalable information security programs.
- The applications they design for their clients may have personally identifiable information and financial data.
- They are creating digital intellectual properties, which is lucrative for cybercriminals to steal.
Technology companies are more vulnerable than most other organizations. A robust plan for information security for technology companies must include:
- A robust information security risk assessment framework
- Mitigation plans
- Security maturity assessment
- Data and IT infrastructure audits
- Security compliance with applicable standards
- Threat assessment and testing
- Application security
- And more
