Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)

What Is a vCISO?

The role of a vCISO is similar to that of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), who is responsible for the overall strategy and implementation of an organization’s information security program, but on a contractual, consultative basis. The vCISO provides expert advice and helps to implement policies, procedures, and technologies to protect the organization’s information assets and systems. They can also be responsible for managing security incidents and conducting risk assessments.

Incident Response Readiness

Incident response readiness means your organization is prepared to effectively identify, respond to, and manage an incident or security breach. This includes having a clear understanding of the potential risks and vulnerabilities facing an organization, as well as having a plan in place to respond to incidents when they occur. 

Ingalls offers Incident Response Plan development and Incident Response Tabletop Testing Exercises to help organizations ensure incident readiness.

Incident Response Plan (IRP)

An Incident Response Plan (IRP) is designed to protect business interests and resources. Any incident that is not properly contained and handled can escalate into a data breach or system collapse. Responding to an incident effectively can help minimize losses, restore or maintain business services and processes, and reduce future risk.

Key Benefits:

• Quickly containing and mitigating the effects of an incident
• Maintaining business continuity
• Protecting sensitive data
• Maintaining customer trust

Tabletop Testing Exercise (TTX)

An Incident Response Tabletop Testing Exercise is a hands-on interactive experience that simulates a real crisis, and it’s up to you and your team to navigate it and practice expedient coordination and mobilization, incident investigation, identification of gaps in the IRP, and risks requiring mitigation in the Incident Response process.

Key Benefits:

• Full scale testing of an IRP
• Hands-on training that helps gauge and improve readiness in the event of an actual attack
• A detailed post-IR TTX summary report that provides recommendations and highlights areas for improvement

Social Engineering & Security Awareness Training

In any organization, the weakest security link is often the level of employee awareness. Our training programs are specifically designed to teach individuals how to recognize and defend against various types of security threats, including phishing attacks, malware, and social engineering. With our program, employees will learn how to identify and avoid these threats, as well as how to report them when they do occur.

Ingalls performs simulated social engineering attacks that evaluate the knowledge employees have of social engineering tactics, as well as employees’ ability to successfully identify and respond. Additionally, Ingalls will manage interactive, browser-based initial, remedial, and annual training to ensure that employees are able to recognize or react appropriately to information security threats and incidents.

Key Benefits: 

• Improved Security
• Increased Productivity
• Reduced Risk of Financial Loss
