ISG understands the complexity of your organization and its partner ecosystem – which is why we take a holistic approach to bolstering your cybersecurity now and in the future.
ISG can help you:
In an increasingly connected economy, the importance of cyber security and risk management rises. You need to validate, re-orient and re-align your cybersecurity strategy.
Assess your capabilities and maturity with an ISG assessment built off of industry-leading frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Top 20, ISO) and market-leading benchmark data. We’ll help you baseline your maturity levels and develop transformational roadmaps to move up the maturity curve.
Outsourcing cybersecurity tools and services on a stand-alone basis or as embedded services can be essential in times of scarce resources and increasing professional and advanced persistent threats.
When sourcing operational services, your chosen partner’s compliance with your corporate information security controls, policies and standards impacts your cyber security’s resilience. Managing your transaction and transition means carefully segregating duties between your organization, your partner and its internal governance.
Re-directed strategy, digitization approaches and sourcing of services and tools let you achieve the expected value leveraging holistically managed transformation measures. Digital tools and services improve efficiency and lower failure rates. End-to-end business processes and connected or digital products require extra-vigilant security protocols.
ISG knows the market best practices. We’ll enable your successful digital transformation with a cyber security operations and management model.
ISG is a leader in proprietary research, advisory consulting and executive event services focused on market trends and disruptive technologies.

Enterprises face complex challenges as sophisticated attacks and increasing responsibilities stretch security teams thin. Many describe daily experiences as perpetual "firefighting," trapped in cycles of reacting to incidents rather than developing proactive strategies to fortify defenses.
As quantum computing advances at an unprecedented pace, the concept of Q-Day—a day when quantum computers can fundamentally undermine our current encryption methods—has entered discussions among cybersecurity professionals and business leaders alike. While there is no definitive date set for Q-Day, we are approaching a critical juncture where traditional cryptographic techniques may no longer suffice to protect sensitive data, digital communications and transactions. This impending shift not only poses significant risks for individuals but also presents a high-stakes event that every enterprise must anticipate and prepare for; inadequate preparation could lead to substantial data breaches, compromised systems and irrevocable damage to customer trust and organizational reputation.
As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud applications, remote workforces and interconnected systems, the complexity and sophistication of cyberthreats have escalated. This dynamic environment requires advanced security measures that go beyond traditional perimeter defenses. As cyberthreats continue to grow in sophistication, the adoption of such cutting-edge security measures will be essential for maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture.
In 2023, several high-profile data breaches and cyberattacks strengthened and drove the growth of the U.S. cybersecurity market. Data breaches in 2023 catapulted to 3,205 compared to 1,802 in 2022, affecting over 353 million individuals with compromises, including data breaches, leakage and exposure. The healthcare sector remained the primary target, witnessing more than double the number of data breach incidents compared to 2022, followed closely by the financial services industry, which experienced 744 incidents and marked a substantial increase.
Digital transformation demands the integrity of information, beyond reasonable – and sometimes unexpected – doubts. But few enterprises want to become – nor do they have the resources – to become digital security experts. Use our research to understand what is working and why, align spend on digital security, and make rapid improvement to achieve risk-adjusted value while making optimal decisions.
