So you can't find enough cyber-security experts to join the team. Time to dial a managed security service provider?

Here's our gentle guide for you

Backgrounder Managed security services are – by revenue – the fastest expanding field of cyber security, according to IDC, which reckons they should grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14.2 per cent to 2022.

One is the continuing global shortage of cyber-security professionals that makes skilled staff difficult to find and expensive to hire.

Rather than go it alone, many have put their trust in managed security service providers (MSSPs), who they hope will have the knowledge and experience to help them avoid a costly data breach.

MSSPs routinely deliver a wealth of common security functions that include antivirus and spyware detection, web and email content filtering, endpoint protection, identity access management, virtual private network connectivity, and data encryption, to name just a few.

Patch management and upgrades are staple features of managed security services, along with monitoring and alerting tools for threat detection and weekly security reports.
