"The main market demands are competencies in import substitution of outdated software and migration to domestic software. Businesses are building processes, integrating systems and new software into their infrastructure, which is often complex and massive, such as in banking organizations, where projects cover several divisions, including across the entire country," Roman Smirnov is confident.
For example, the press service japan whatsapp number database of PAO Positive Technologies told ComNews that it practically does not resort to outsourcing services, including in the form of outstaffing, preferring to attract only full-time employees.
In general, as noted by the press service of Angara Security, outstaffing in information security brings more problems than it solves: "Current tasks require highly qualified personnel, greater control over the activities of employees, especially if external personnel are attracted to work in critical information infrastructure organizations or to work on the side of contractors of such companies. Therefore, in our opinion, outstaffing is unlikely to become widespread in information security due to the noted risks. At the same time, the information security outsourcing model is more promising, since the contractor is interested in providing a higher speed of service delivery, compared to the internal team, has access to industry expertise developed on projects of other companies, provides a higher level and quality of process automation, guarantees SLA. And another important aspect is the ratio of CAPEX and OPEX. In the case of attracting an outstaffing partner, the company shifts only part of the costs to the shoulders of the contractor, while incurring high costs for the formation and maintenance of the information security infrastructure, which will bring returns in two or three years. Outsourcing operates on the OPEX model, so it can be more optimal when structuring the information security budget."
Although IW Group technical director Alexey Obukhov sees demand for outsourcing information security specialists: “In light of general trends in cybersecurity, these specialists are becoming even more in demand, and the cost of their services also varies depending on their qualifications (grade).”
