Chief Information Security Officer
What is a CISO?
The CISO is the pillar of cybersecurity within a company. As the main IT security manager, it is their responsibility to ensure the protection of data and information systems against all forms of threats, whether internal or external. This role extends far beyond the simple implementation of firewalls or antivirus software. It includes the definition of a strategy, risk management, compliance and awareness of the entire company about security.

How do we intervene as an External CISO?
Luxgap, as part of its external CISO offer, assumes all the responsibilities incumbent on the function.
The identification phase allows the company to list the risks to which it is exposed, before the occurrence of an attack. This phase makes it possible to determine the following steps.
Following an attack, it is necessary to repeat this phase in order to protect yourself from other attacks of the same type
During the securing phase, we support you to take concrete measures to establish your protection and prevent attacks on your infrastructure. This can include material measures but also organizational measures.
No company can fully protect itself from attacks, regardless of the efforts made at the previous stages. That is why it is essential to have tools and procedures to detect successful attacks, in order to react to them.
This critical phase determines your entire reaction if an attack manages to break through the protection measures that you have established.
When the attack has been stopped and no longer poses an immediate threat, it is necessary to restore the normal functioning of your services but also to document the incident so that the new identification phase makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of other attacks of the same type.External CISO
