Secure M&A process with Business Software
One of the greatest challenges of any M&A is integrating a large number of new employees and getting them operational with minimal disruption. Ineffective onboarding practices can lead to a decline in productivity and lead to a higher rate of turnover after M&A. It’s also vital that the company that is buying onboard the acquired workforce as quickly as possible to maximize the benefits of the deal.
During the M&A, IT teams are required to integrate users from both systems efficiently without introducing security gaps and damaging data integrity. The problem is even more difficult when integrating workers from acquired companies who are using their own devices or third-party applications, such as cloud-based social media or cloud-based services.
Cybersecurity professionals must address these challenges, by integrating themselves into the M&A processes from the beginning and ensuring they have visibility over all moving parts. This includes due diligence assessment and post-merger integration phases. It is essential that CISOs approach M&As with a servant mentality and present cybersecurity risks in a manner that executives can understand. This involves avoiding technical terminology and using metrics that executives can relate to.
