What are Cyber Security Consulting Services?

Cyber Security Consulting Services are “Strategic Advisory Services” Surrounding Cyber security or Information Security Services. These Services can provide data security details to client businesses. Within a Cyber Security Consulting Service in California- Your Business would gain a detailed analysis of how effective current computer networks and systems are from hackers, malware, and other cyber threats. You’ll also get remediation advice and action-based details associated with those details.

Choosing the Right Cyber Security Consultant or Service Provider can be a Challenge.

So, you’re already looking for a Cyber Security Consultant, but who do you pick?
If you’re looking for a Cyber Security Consulting Service in California- there are many providers, and a variety of different prices. If you’re not technically savvy, it might be a challenge to determine which one is the right choice for your use-case. Should you go with a more-developed company, or a cybersecurity consultant or an independent service provider? The answer depends on a variety of factors.

Small Businesses have had These Key Issues with Cyber Security Service Providers, specifically regarding Cyber Security Consulting as well as Managed Cyber Security Services:

Over the years of Providing Cyber Security Services in California and Network Security Services for a variety of different clients- we've heard several complaints about previous providers. In many instances, it’s not the fault of the service providers in question.

Oftentimes, the client’s dissatisfaction is due to the nature of One-Man Service Shops, or Two-Person Tech Companies. Companies with this type of structure can’t deliver and scale an operationally mature service model unless-they have only several clients.

Two of the most common issues are pricing and reliability:

  • Reliability. It can be important to find a service provider that you can rely on, to build a relationship over time. Reason being -you may need this service provider to perform additional services later-on. The lower price services will usually show to be less-than-reliable for long term needs. The race is Different.
  • Pricing. Many clients have complained about pesky hourly fees. Such as the computer consultant who will try to spend that extra 15-30 minutes onsite, just to charge an extra fee. Independent Contractors may charge reasonable hourly rates in some cases. When they rely on service-hours to make a living, their goal is to bill as many as possible.

In many instances, Cyber Security Consultants in California can be a Jack of All Tech Trades and Masters of None. You may end up with a Computer Technician who “identifies” as a Cybersecurity Consultant- or says that he can do cyber security service. Is this person really a Cybersecurity Expert? You might need to do your due diligence to determine this person’s specific level of expertise. Race is Different.

2. Why is Remote Security Monitoring and Alerting So Important?

Let’s compare a network to a house: We can build a house and give it bulletproof doors with expensive locks. If you are a homeowner with 4 roommates who live a care-free lifestyle- let’s say they bring random people over and leave keys all over the place. In this instance, it is not difficult for an intruder to gain access. When it happens- what will the intruder do? This illustrates the concept and kind of explains why it's important to keep track of these things. Businesses need ongoing hygiene related to those “open doors,” “key-use,” as well as rules surrounding visitors and access control restrictions A Security Camera System will enable you to know who has intruded, and how they got in. A Security Monitoring System will do the same thing for IT.

The correct answer is “it depends,” but Cybersecurity and Data safety is an ongoing process, so it does have some type of ongoing fee associated.
