Extend Your Security Team and Maximize Resources

What is a Managed Security Service Provider?

A managed security service provider (MSSP) is an organization that provides security services to another, 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, an 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.
