Closing the Cybersecurity Skills Gap: Round-the-Clock Protection with UltraViolet Dedicated Defense Services

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity has become a top priority for organizations of all sizes. With cyber threats growing in sophistication and frequency, businesses are facing an increasingly daunting task of protecting their sensitive data and assets from malicious actors. 

OVERVIEW

The market has witnessed significant growth in recent years. According to Global Cybersecurity Insight Report by World Economic Forum

• In 2022, 6% of leaders reported that they were missing the skills and people they needed to respond to a cyber incident. In 2023, this doubled to 12%.
  
• When asked 20% of the organizations said they do not have the skills that are required to accomplish their cyber objectives.

• 54% of the organizations have insufficient visibility into the vulnerabilities of their supply chain.
• 41% of the organizations that suffered a material impact from a cyberattack said it originated from a third party.

The Struggle is Real

Many organizations struggle to maintain an effective cybersecurity posture due to the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals and the complexities of managing security operations in-house. Here are some warning signs you might be vulnerable:

Talent: Finding and retaining skilled cybersecurity professionals is a major challenge.

The Resource Drain: Managing complex security infrastructure in-house can be a burden on IT teams.

Rapid Growth: As your business scales, so does your attack surface. Sensitive data requires robust security measures.

Data Deluge: Increasing reliance on sensitive data like customer information and financial records demands stronger safeguards.

Near Misses and Breaches: Frequent security incidents, even minor ones, indicate a need for a more proactive defense.

Compliance Conundrum: Navigating ever-evolving data privacy regulations can be daunting without dedicated resources.

How Many Security Engineers Does It Take?

Building a robust cybersecurity posture feels an overwhelming task given the list of daily roles and responsibilities:

• Vulnerability Management
• Penetration Testing
• Firewall management
• Threat hunting
• SIEM and EDR Management

The question becomes – how many security engineers does it take to keep all these balls in the air?
