MarketScope for Managed Security Services
Enterprises face a wide range of options when selecting a managed security service provider for security monitoring and management. This Magic Quadrant provides MSS buyers with our advice on selecting MSSPs that meet security and compliance monitoring requirements.
The global economic environment continues to drive businesses to limit hiring and increase demand for managed services. Managed security services are mature, but buyers must carefully define the scope and depth of services required, and assess the delivery capabilities and options available from providers. Enterprises that optimize their use of managed security service providers (MSSPs) can free up internal staff time for dealing with more-business-critical security functions if they select MSSP services that can integrate with internal security operations.
