The Current Challenges

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, it is a boardroom priority. With attacks increasing in scale, sophistication, and frequency, organisations across every industry face a growing list of challenges that demand specialist expertise:

Evolving Threat Landscape

Ransomware, phishing, insider threats, supply chain attacks, and zero-day exploits are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, overwhelming in-house teams that lack the capacity or expertise to respond effectively.

Compliance and Regulatory Pressure

Industries including banking, healthcare, energy, telecoms, and government face complex requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIS2, and ISO 27001. Falling short results in fines, reputational harm, and even loss of licence to operate.

Skills Shortages

There is a global shortage of cybersecurity talent. Organisations struggle to recruit and retain skilled professionals in areas such as SOC operations, penetration testing, incident response, risk management, cloud security, and governance.

Cloud and Hybrid Security Risks

As workloads shift to multi-cloud and hybrid environments, security teams must navigate new risks, from misconfigured cloud storage to identity and access management weaknesses. Many internal teams lack the niche skills required to secure modern infrastructures.

24/7 Threat Monitoring

Threat actors operate around the clock, but many organisations cannot afford to staff a 24/7 security team. This leaves critical gaps in detection and response capability.

Budget Constraints and ROI

Permanent hires can take months to onboard and often lack the specific expertise needed for short-term, mission-critical projects, resulting in wasted time, higher costs, and missed opportunities.

The result is increased risk exposure, delayed incident response, compliance failures, and eroded customer trust at the very moment security resilience matters most.
