Security News > 2023 > September > The State of the Virtual CISO Report: MSP/MSSP Security Strategies for 2024
This relatively low percentage reflects the current state of the industry, where vCISO services are still an emerging market.
The vCISO landscape is expected to change dramatically by the end of 2024.
44% of respondents identified the primary advantage of vCISO services as the ability to upsell more products and services.
Lastly, 42% of those surveyed emphasized the role of vCISO services in enhancing customer security.
More than a third of them feel they have limited security or compliance knowledge, which hinders them from adding vCISO services to their offering.
By offering vCISO services, MSPs and MSSPs can provide their clients with customized security strategies and security leadership, without the need for a full-time, in-house CISO. This not only allows MSPs/MSSPs to meet the needs of their clients but also positions the ones that choose to offer vCISO services at the forefront of the cybersecurity market.
