Cyber threats and information security are evolving at an astounding and rapid rate, making the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) progressively more complex. 
In this present context in Sri Lanka any of the sectors are unable to find the right skill set to employ a CISO. With the huge talent gap, organizations are struggling to recruit CISO experts with the appropriate skills across all the knowledge areas to prevent breaches, and to reduce the time and investment spent in deploying the right cyber security measures. 
However, many small and mid-sized organizations cannot justify the expense of hiring a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer(CISO).
CISO as a managed security service offers huge cost advantages over hiring internally, particularly in the development of a new role within the business. Sanjee Balasuriya, MD CEO of eCybersec, further emphasized those there CISO consultants are vastly experienced, who had worked in multinational organizations. Businesses that do not require or cannot afford a full-time CISO can use eCybersec’s own highly professional Cyber Security personnel to fill the CISO role within their organization. As professionals within the cyber security business, our personnel have an abundance of real-life experience performing threat monitoring, risk analysis, vulnerability assessment, and many other functions often carried out by a CISO.
