With cyberattacks on the rise, it has never been more important for organizations to bolster their security and compliance posture. However, not all businesses are ready to build their own security teams, and not all cybersecurity solutions can account for their client’s unique needs.

That’s where Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) come in. By outsourcing cybersecurity functions to an MSSP, businesses can get the comprehensive security
management they need at a lower cost than building out traditional security infrastructure. This white paper will explain what MSSPs are capable of and how businesses can find the right one for their unique security and compliance needs.

  1. MSSPs are information technology (IT) service providers that protect businesses from security
    threats, maintain compliance and resolve internal vulnerabilities.
  2. Experienced MSSPs provide comprehensive cybersecurity monitoring and management,
    including virus and spam blocking, and intrusion detection.
  3. By outsourcing security to an MSSP, businesses can reduce their security costs by
    eliminating the need for in-house security specialists and equipment.
  4. Not every service offered by an MSSP is necessary for a specific business or industry.

 

Choosing the right MSSP is vital to achieve optimum security and cost-effectiveness.

If you’re anything like me, your inbox and news feeds are a daily onslaught of exploit alerts, hack reports, and zero-day warnings from the likes of Bleeping Computer and Hacker News. As a self-confessed nerd, I used to geek out over the technical deep dives—how was this vulnerability discovered? What does it target? How could it be exploited? But after a while, the sheer volume of it all started to bury me. Keeping up with every new vulnerability felt like an impossible task, and honestly, it was exhausting.
Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, analyzing, and managing cyber vulnerabilities across your organization’s IT environment. It allows security teams to close security gaps and prioritize high-severity threats while minimizing their exposure to security risks.
Vulnerability management is vital for addressing complex security challenges and achieving compliance. Having a structured vulnerability management program enables your security team to systematically find and address vulnerabilities as they develop.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) takes a successful approach to endpoint security and expands it to cover a much wider range of network assets. It provides comprehensive protection against a wide range of cyberattacks and unauthorized activities. XDR technology is part of a natural progression of capabilities that begins with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). Where EDR provides holistic protection for endpoint devices, XDR delivers broader capabilities that cover entire networks, cloud environments, and applications.
Penetration testing—also known as pentesting or ethical hacking—is a simulated cyberattack that checks your organization’s security controls and policies against real-world attack tactics. It is an important requirement for PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and many other regulatory compliance frameworks.
Cloud security consists of multiple security tools and policies that protect cloud-based infrastructure and applications. These security measures protect the organization’s data from a variety of threats, including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, malicious insiders, and malware attacks.
