Secure M&A Process using Business Software
One of the greatest challenges of any M&A is integrating a huge number of new employees and getting them up and running with minimal disruption. Ineffective onboarding could lead to lower productivity and a high turnover rate following an M&A.
During the M&A process, IT teams must integrate users from both systems in an efficient manner without creating security holes and compromising the data integrity of the acquired business. The challenge is made more challenging when it comes to onboarding employees who use their own devices or third-party applications like social media or cloud-based services.
Cybersecurity professionals must address these challenges by integrating into the M&A process from start to finish, and ensuring they have visibility across all of the moving parts. This includes due diligence assessment and post-merger integration stages. It is crucial for CISOs to approach M&A with a servant-like attitude and present cybersecurity risks in a way that executives can comprehend. This means not using technical jargon and using metrics executives can relate to the impact on their finances or reputational damage.
