Most of my years spent in the cyber security space revolved around consulting with large companies. The most common activity we consulted on was cyber security related technical transformation. Basically a company would hire a new security manager or CISO who had all their favorite security solutions and vendors. So everything already implemented had to be replaced with the CISO preferred solution. This kept an army of consultants and business analysts and project managers in business as well as gave the security org the feeling they were making a difference.
Might not be the case everywhere but was certainty the norm in the consulting world.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoI’ve spent time in consulting at and with the name brand pen testing shops and never heard of this type of consulting. I don’t doubt your account, but that’s a foreign concept to me. I’m curious which consulting shops work that way.
- allthecybers 7y agoInformation security system integration consulting shops. I think we had some pen testing going on but the but the money was made selling a new IBM governance tool or SIEM solution and then a new security manager comes in and he prefers SailPoint or Microsoft so everything gets switched over.
