High turnover
rates

When IT demand peaks, employee retention dwindles- leaving an in-house system disorderly and vulnerable

Lack of
multi-level
expertise

Evolving
technological
advancements

In-house personnel become too preoccupied with new strategic business opportunities and continually evolving security threats
