CyberMarket & Democratisation/Globalisation of CyberSecurity Consulting – Gordon Draper – PSW #703
CyberMarket.com is a marketplace where CyberSecurity Consultancies and clients can find each other. There is a growing trend where CyberSecurity Consultants recognize the gap between what they are worth to a consultancy as being sold out for a daily rate compared to what they get paid. There are a number of consultants who are leaving consultancies to start the next generation of independent / boutique consultancies but they don't have a sales pipeline and sales staff like their old consultancies do. CyberMarket.com is a place to help facilitate the sales pipeline for cybersecurity consultancies of various sizes.
Segment Resources:
There is a blog at https://www.cybermarket.com/homes/blog where an article to help people to start up their own cybersecurity consultancy can be found.
