Cyber Security Experts available when you need them.
You may have heard of Virtual CISO, Managed CISO, Fractional CISO etc, well they are all catchy titles for what is the same thing, you pay a portion of the salary of a portion of a role. We’re calling our offering an augmentation.
Experienced Network Security personnel often carry a kinds ransom, it can be prohibitive and sometimes simply overkill to hire a dedicated security or network professional for some businesses. However, the security risks still need to be addressed.
The entire ethos of AWOL Networks Ltd is to keep businesses running and stopping their infrastructure from going AWOL. To do that, we need to know you, your critical business functions, your staff and stakeholders and importantly, the state of your infrastructure.
Cyber security staff augmentation essentially works by either supplementing your IT departments with security advisors or aligning an information security professional to your managing or technical director. These augmentees can be called upon to come in and assess a situation that goes beyond the basics of what the company’s cybersecurity team can handle.
This approach involves collaborating with IT departments to conduct testing and remediation on various service issues, from network firewalls, identified security risks, security tools (EDR, ZTNA, VPN), or the revision of company policies.
Augmentees can be utilised on tasks your business needs to address:
You have never done task A before and you know that going straight to a vendor, you aren’t going to get an honest picture or the honest price. You could Google how to complete task A but things are outside of your expertise to the point you can’t shoulder the risk or you simply haven’t the time.
One of the key takeaways from advising the small business sector has been countering the belief that if they go direct to product vendor X they will get the best price and/or support. This simply isn’t how the channel model works and we’ll be happy to explain if you’re unsure.
By augmenting AWOL Networks as your preferred managed security service partner you are getting a team who are passionate about your business because we know that if you grow and succeed, we all succeed. Whatever your business transformation requirements, we’ve likely done it before.
