This ever-growing complexity of threat landscape is compelling leading organizations to outsource the massive task of efficiently ensuring their enterprise security to Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs).From 24x7 coverage, access to skilled professionals and advanced tools and intelligence to reduced cost on account of decreased in-house security operations, MSSP model brings in many game changing advantages for organizations.
On similar lines, Allied Market Research forecasts global MSS market to reach USD 40.97 billion by 2022.With cyber threats rapidly evolving in nature, MSS space is also witnessing inclusion of advanced technologies and techniques to stay ahead of potential attacks.
Automation will be majorly used for identifying and responding to the volume of attacks even as it helps in filtering out false positives to support security analysts.
This will help analysts to focus just on relevant data and alerts instead of deluge of threat and security data from tools, such as SIEM.
A key reason why organizations will prefer providers using security orchestration and automation is it will improve customer experience in terms of visibility by providing and improving metrics, such as mean time to detect, response time and number of incidents resolved, etc.Gaining additional visibility and using behaviour-based detection: With data assets spending a lot of time in transit, attack surface widening, and threats getting more sophisticated, more and more organizations are realizing the need to improve the visibility into their environments.
In 2020, expect more thrust on proactive security techniques, such as analytics and behaviour-based detection to predict, detect and prevent breaches, fraud and insider threats before any damage.
