We haven\u2019t figured out how to address this gap. We have the potential to do that now.\u201d<br \/>\nThe good news, according to\u00a0an article in Forbes, is that an increasing number of organizations are utilizing virtual (remote) CISOs, also referred to as vCISOs, to address the expertise deficit without incurring the costs associated with hiring a full-time executive. \u201cThe challenge with the vCISO offerings in the market today is that human bandwidth doesn\u2019t scale infinitely,\u201d says Raja Patel, President, Product &#038; Marketing at Sophos.<br \/>\nSophos views managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) as the force multiplier in security leadership. Just as managed detection and response (MDR) proved that security operations scale best through services, security leadership scales best through partners. Various industry estimates put the number of MSPs and MSSPs at tens of thousands globally.<br \/>\nThese service providers already sit at the intersection of technology, operations, and trust.\u00a0Sophos is providing MSPs and MSSPs with its CISO Advantage\u00a0to extend their role into governance, compliance, and risk management, services that are desperately needed by underserved small to midsized businesses (SMBs). \u201cThere\u2019s an opportunity for us to create the next generation of MSPs and MSSPs through this hybrid model of humans and agents working together to be able to deal this strategy leadership to hundreds of millions of businesses that would otherwise not have access to it,\u201d says Levy.<br \/>\nRead the 2026 CISO Report<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CISO Gap: SMBs Exposed; MSSPs To The Rescue https:\/\/cybersecurityventures.com\/ciso-gap-smbs-exposed-mssps-to-the-rescue\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-28 09:08:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":206688,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cybersecurityventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/photo23.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-206687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206687"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206687"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":206689,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206687\/revisions\/206689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
