IT Security Consultant's (referred to as vCISO within Convergence) are seen as the information security expert by our clients and have the opportunity to help design and lead their overall security posture into the future.

Through established Convergence Networks consulting processes and procedures, the vCISO assists with the direction and management of a client's strategic, operational, and budgeting efforts.
