What is a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)?
A Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offers network security to businesses and handles the monitoring and management of security devices and systems.
MSSPs offer various security services such as vulnerability assessments, managed firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus management. MSSPs also monitor software upgrades, changes, and modifications to ensure that security protocols are updated and effective. And MSSPs provide 24/7 security coverage for organizations through security operation centers (SOCs).
Businesses are increasingly outsourcing security to MSSPs to reduce costs on equipment and software tools needed for an in-house cybersecurity team. MSSPs allow firms to reduce the burden on their internal IT teams, freeing up more time and resources for crucial tasks that drive company growth.
