How Cyber Security Consulting Can Be Valuable
The Check Point consulting team acts as your external third-party cyber security consultant, providing your organization with advice or support when they need it. Some scenarios where cyber security consulting can be valuable include the following:

Cyber Security Risk: Defining security posture, and capability, in language that can be shared with non-cyber executives using a commonly understood risk terminology.

Strategic Planning: When planning a large operation, such as a migration to the cloud or a network redesign, strategic security planning is essential. Third-party consultants can help an organization design and execute a strategy for migration.

Specialized Skill Sets: Security testing, post-incident forensics, and similar activities require specialized skill sets that an organization may lack the resources or need to maintain in-house. Engaging a third-party consultant ensures that an organization has swift access to these skills when they are needed.

Fractional Support: Some organizations may only require the services of a CISO or other security personnel part-time. Engaging a third-party consultant provides access to security expertise on an as-needed basis.

With an engagement with Check Point cyber security consulting, companies don’t need to maintain a particular skill set in-house to have access to it, the security consulting team can act as an extension of your in-house team, adding value where required and giving you access to a dedicated pool of experts that specializes in solving the complex cyber security problems that you may be facing, and delivering practical solutions based on security best practices aligned to industry standards.
