Security Staffing Options for Midsize Enterprises

Midsize enterprise organizations do not have the budget to fully staff a 24/7 security operations center.

Expert: Paul Furtado

Midsize enterprise (MSE) CIOs need to take a role-based approach to security staffing in order to be able to adequately protect their organizations. They don’t have the budget to compete for talent and must leverage existing internal resources to fill requisite roles.

 MSE CIOs and IT leaders responsible for security should: 

  • Utilize existing stagging resources.
  • Augment internal staff.
  • Leverage third-party-managed security services.
  • Reduce overall employee turnover rate.
