$7.35 million is the average total cost of a cyber attack in the United States. Is your business effectively mitigating its risk? As budgeting for next year begins, placing cybersecurity as a priority within the process is vital to the growth and success of your company.
One of the biggest challenges to budgeting for security is getting C-level executives and IT decision makers on the same page.
The differing priorities of C-level and IT teams often cause opposing views of cyber threats and how they convert to business vs. technological risks. While C-level executives are responsible for reducing business risk, IT manages and maintains the technology that drives the business and its risk.

Here are some of the most notable:
Protelligent® understands the challenges of aligning C-Level executives and IT. Here are 3 ways our Premonition Security™ Suite will help you bridge the gaps:
Premonition’s assessment services measure your organization’s cyber-attack resiliency, create actionable security remediation prioritized by risk and value and provide recommendations to elevate your cyber defense. Our certified engineers and security executives will coordinate with you to simulate tactics, techniques and procedures of real-world attackers with penetration testing. This will allow us to discover critical vulnerabilities to remediate before they can be leveraged against you.
Organizational awareness can easily be gained through Premonition’s Learning Management System-as-a-Service. We offer a full range of threat-awareness training and managed content courses that help your entire organization stay current with the latest cybersecurity information.
Premonition Security Suite includes the services of a virtual chief information security officer (vCISO). This C-level information security consultant will offer the guidance needed to elevate your cybersecurity position. Our dedicated professionals execute the security program identified during assessment and manage key initiatives to reach desired results. In addition to having on-demand access to a senior information security executive, you receive ongoing customized risk-mitigation guidance and routine compliance and security reporting.
