Extend Your Security Team and Maximize Resources
Managed Security Protection 24/7/365
Organizations frequently experience gaps in security staffing and struggle to find affordable talent, not to mention expertise in specific security solutions. As the regulatory landscape becomes increasingly complex, why not let your existing IT staff refocus their efforts on core business needs?
Our managed security services (MSS) provide monitoring and management services designed to fit a wide variety of solutions, technologies, industries and budgets.
No matter where you are in your cybersecurity journey, when you're ready to bring in the experts, Optiv can help you amplify your existing security operations capability and reach a level of cybersecurity maturity that's required for today’s evolving threats.
What is a Managed Security Service Provider?
A managed security service provider (MSSP) delivers security solutions and advice to another organization, typically in an arrangement where the MSSP manages all or a significant portion of the client’s security stack.
In the past, this looked like basic firewall and endpoint management, but these days they do much more. Now an MSSP might provide anything from security monitoring, vulnerability management and tier-one support to SIEM co-management or even a fully staffed security operations center (SOC). For organizations who are struggling to fill security roles – or would just rather the experts handle their security – an MSSP can provide quick value.
What is the Difference Between an MSP and MSSP?
Just like a mountain bike is a specialized kind of bicycle, a managed security service provider (MSSP) is a specialized type of managed service provider (MSP). There are MSPs for just about any service an organization could need – customer support, IT services, the list goes on – but in the same way a mountain bike is built for rough trails, an MSSP is focused on security.
