BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING CYBERSECURITY OPERATIONS 30 JULY 2021

www.theenterpriseworld.com 31

The invention of new technologies and the dawn of the internet play a significant role in the modern business world: they allow businesses in various industries to engage with customers online. This is a win-win situation for companies and their clientele. Outsourcing Cybersecurity Operations was a difficult task before. On the one hand, since enterprises can connect with customers on a global scale, they'll be able to generate more sales. On the other hand, customers can shop in the comfort of their own home and experience more convenience. Apart from that, clients are able to compare prices from different businesses with ease, so they have the freedom to choose which store to shop from. Though utilizing modern technologies and the internet is beneficial in many ways, doing so also comes with challenges. This is because hackers use those same innovations to access and steal business information. Protect your data against hackers by taking a Cyber Security program. The good news is that you can avoid such problems by outsourcing cybersecurity operations. But if you're still unsure about taking that route, keep reading to find out why you should let cybersecurity companies help you protect your business against cyberattacks. Outsourcing Cybersecurity Operations Defined This is the practice of hiring a third-party firm to provide you with a range of cybersecurity services. In other words, you'll be working with external experts who can take care of your business' online data, intellectual properties, and digital assets. Rather than investing a lot of time, money, and effort to hire new employees and build an in- house team, you can simply turn to a cybersecurity firm for everything from security monitoring to patch management. For instance, Foresite offers cybersecurity as a service (CSaaS) to clients worldwide. So you can consider working with them or similar companies to keep your enterprise's cybersecurity in check. The 4 Advantages Of Outsourcing Cybersecurity Outsourced cybersecurity solutions can bring a multitude of benefits to companies. Here are just some of them: 1. Reduced Costs Cyberattacks are a common threat to businesses these days, and they can have a major negative impact on yours. This is because when they occur, they'll likely cost your enterprise a significant amount of money. For instance, when cybercriminals manage to steal sensitive data from you and leak them, you'll have to pay hefty fines and legal fees, which might force you to close your business due to massive financial losses. And even if you stay operational, it can be expensive to restore your data, and you'll lose your customers' trust. 32 JULY 2021

You can steer clear of financial troubles by outsourcing cybersecurity. The company you'll hire would have seasoned cybersecurity professionals who can safeguard your business before any online attack or data breach happens. Apart from that, you can opt to hire them on a seasonal basis if that's what your company needs. This allows you to minimize labor costs. 2. 24/7 Protection Another benefit of outsourcing cybersecurity functions is that it enables you to provide adequate protection to your business 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Cybersecurity firms work around the clock, giving your company all the attention it deserves. On the flip side, having an in-house team may not always be the best option given that your employees won't always be available to attend to cybersecurity concerns. They can only provide their services during working hours. In order to keep a close eye on your business, consider entrusting your cybersecurity operations to a different company. 3. More Time For Core Operations By outsourcing cybersecurity, you'll have more time to concentrate on other critical business tasks. The service provider you choose can meet all of your cybersecurity needs and come up with the right solutions no matter how complicated or serious the issue may be. Not only does outsourcing free up your time to manage your day-to-day operations, but it gives you peace of mind as well. With experts by your side, you don't have to worry about your business being vulnerable to attacks in the digital space. 4. Scalability Though an in-house cybersecurity team may be suitable for your company now, that might not be the case in the future. After all, when your business grows, it'll naturally require more complex security measures that your current cybersecurity infrastructure might not be designed for. You can overcome this by outsourcing your business' cybersecurity operations right off the bat. Cybersecurity companies provide services that are readily scalable, so no matter how big your enterprise gets, they can protect it from cybercriminals. Takeaway Today, cybersecurity issues are a shared concern among many companies. However, a good number of businesses don't have the required resources or expertise to deal with such problems. That's why there's been an increase in the demand for outsourced cybersecurity operations in recent years. If you happen to be in the same boat, consider working with a reliable cybersecurity firm so you can benefit from their services as soon as possible. www.theenterpriseworld.com 33
