ISG builds a cybersecurity unit

IT research outfit Information Services Group (ISG) has launched an expanded global cybersecurity unit to help clients contend with the growing threat of cyberattacks in an increasingly connected and vulnerable technology environment.

ISG Cybersecurity is a dedicated, “vendor-agnostic” business unit that supports enterprise customers.  The expanded offering, includes dedicated cybersecurity professionals operating in key markets worldwide to support clients via the ISG iFlex global delivery network.

SG Cybersecurity co-lead Doug Saylors said: “ISG has provided cybersecurity advisory services since our inception, typically as part of our sourcing advisory offerings for Infrastructure, ADM and Network services. Our new, global cybersecurity unit responds to increasing enterprise demand for independent advice and support on cybersecurity strategy and execution across all domains, with an added focus on cloud security.”

ISG’s cybersecurity offerings include strategy and assessments, operating model design and implementation, security architecture, solution design and selection. The firm’s cybersecurity solutions are backed by industry-leading benchmark data from real-world client engagements.

Saylors said ISG Cybersecurity will be able to offer its capabilities as part of an end-to-end digital transformation solution, or as a separate service to clients.

ISG Cybersecurity will use an ecosystem of global and regional partners to perform downstream implementation work, when required, Saylors said, but he noted that ISG remains vendor-agnostic. “As an independent and trusted advisor, we will continue to leverage our industry-leading ISG FutureSource methodology to help our clients select the best providers to meet their particular cybersecurity needs.”
