Frequently Asked Questions
How can an internet security expert improve my organization’s security posture?
An internet security expert can enhance your organization’s security posture by guiding your organization’s leadership as it seeks to design and implement an appropriate cybersecurity program. The expert can help you properly perform a sufficiently robust and accurate risk assessment – including identifying assets that need protection – and can help you decide on the ideal methods to mitigate the risks associated with such assets.
An expert can help you device a robust plan – including not only technical controls, but policies, procedures, and human controls, as well as with obtaining adequate cyber-risk insurance, helping you decide which risks are tolerable as compared with the costs of addressing them, etc.
The expert can help you decide when and how to best tolerate, transfer, treat, and terminate various risks. As part of such an effort, the expert can help you craft policies and procedures, address human-related risks, and select appropriate technical cybersecurity countermeasures including particular forms of firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and intrusion detection systems.
They can also help you build an organization (or select an external service to) continuously monitor for threats, respond to incidents, and ensure that your systems stay updated against emerging threats.
Experts can also make recommendations about both the content and frequency of training that should be provided to employees – both vis-à-vis cybersecurity awareness and best practices, and, as such, can also make other crucial contributions to improving your security posture.
How do I choose the right cybersecurity consultant for my business?
When choosing a cybersecurity consultant, it is important to consider their experience, expertise, and reputation in the industry. Many consultants, for example, have cybersecurity-technology-related experience, but have little experience actually managing cyber-risk or overseeing the management of security at a board level; such consultants may direct a board to waste its time on matters inappropriate at the board level while causing the board to neglect matters that should be of importance to it.
Certifications that show that a consultant has wide and deep knowledge of cybersecurity and its management should also be of note when selecting a consultant.
What qualifications should an internet security expert have?
The exact qualifications obviously depend on the tasks at hand – an expert at cybersecurity law, for example, may be of great value to a business when it seeks to implement compliance solutions but not when it seeks to write secure code for a new app that is not subject to any compliance regulations.
In general, however, an internet security expert should possess relevant certifications and experience. One key certification to look for is the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), which shows that the holder understands many areas of cybersecurity and their interactions with one another.
In addition, when seeking experts in the management of information security, for example for senior level positions such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), it is worthwhile to look for people who hold the Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) credential.
A solid understanding of security frameworks – for example those from NIST or ISO/IEC 27001 – is also valuable.
How can businesses protect themselves from cyberattacks?
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to securing businesses, in general, businesses can protect themselves from cyberattacks by adopting a cybersecurity program that consists of multiple elements. After having an expert perform a risk assessment, and discussing what levels of risks are acceptable, an expert can recommend that the organization adopt various policies, implement various procedures, and deploy (and set up a plan to manage and ultimately decommission) various technology as part of a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity.

Who is the best internet security expert?
There is no single “best” internet security expert – different experts specialize in different areas. Bruce Schneier, for example, is a renowned cryptographer. The late Kevin Mitnick, who was a former hacker turned security consultant, was an expert on social engineering. When it comes to advising boards and serving as an expert witness on cybercrime and related matters, or to lecturing on topics related to the impact of modern societal changes on privacy and security, Joseph Steinberg of Columbia University has a record that is believed to be the envy of many of his peers.
