Funny, I just did a Google vanity search on my name and saw this page pop up from a presentation I did almost two years ago. Kip Boyle and I spoke for the Washington Technology Industry Association Security Special Interest Group (say that 10 times fast!). Our topic was “Outsourcing Security to Improve Organizational Effectiveness”.
Exciting stuff, I know!
Here’s an excerpt of what we presented:
Outsourcing any or all of your organization’s security functions can be a tough but necessary business decision. The impacts of outsourcing even a “small” security function, however, are often far-reaching and can have negative consequences if not properly planned for. In addition, when you do outsource your security, are you prepared to answer the inevitable question from your auditors: “How do you justify outsourcing this security function?”
Kip Boyle will share his lessons learned—both good and bad—from outsourcing security on many occasions in his role as Chief Security Officer for several organizations. Marc Menninger will look at the issue from the perspective of the solution provider and share with you the tips you need to know to protect your organization when you outsource security.
