Infostealers don’t announce their presence. There’s no ransomware splash screen, no encrypted files. Instead, attackers slip in quietly, collect credentials, sensitive files, and emails, and then disappear. This isn’t a future problem. It’s already happening. And vCSOs who haven’t educated their stakeholders on how stealth breaches work—and how they’re defended—are going to be the first ones blamed when it happens. 

Compliance is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. For vCSOs feeling the pressure, the smartest move is to start with what matters most: Cyber Insurability. Meeting the requirements for cyber insurance gives you a strong baseline, providing protection while addressing fundamental cybersecurity controls. 

As we approach 2025, Chief Security Officers (CSOs) face escalating pressures to navigate an evolving compliance landscape while justifying budgets that can protect and grow their organizations. Stakeholders expect more than reactive measures—they demand proactive solutions that align with business objectives, protect critical data, and meet rigorous regulatory standards.

In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and targeted, only an A-game will work. For businesses dealing with high-profile individuals, implementing a proactive security strategy is paramount.

You’ve heard of AI. You’ve seen what it can do. But have you thought about how it could impact your organization and your clients?
