In-House Cybersecurity

In-House Security: Greater Control

Having an in-house security model gives decision-makers direct control of their IT infrastructure. This approach aligns with companies that have the capabilities to dedicate an entire IT operations team to protect the organization’s assets against cybersecurity threats. This includes implementing, managing, and responding to security events.

A Tailored Approach

In-house operations security models provide IT leaders with the autonomy needed to implement the solutions and monitoring systems they consider to be most aligned with the organization’s needs. It is also common that these companies adopt a strong risk tolerance posture and have a specific vision when it comes to agility and threat response.

The In-House Security Model

Bigger Investment, Greater Control

Establishing in-house cybersecurity requires a significant upfront investment to hire the team responsible for managing operations and to enable the technologies and systems that will shape the company’s IT ecosystem.

Known Complexity

In-house cybersecurity teams can have a deeper understanding of how environments are supported. This can help better manage the level of complexity depending on internal processes, like number of active operating systems, custom vs. standard applications, and integrations.

Intellectual Property

If your company has a unique approach and has proprietary security practices in place to prevent and respond to threats, the in-house security model allows you to manage access to the intellectual property.
