Managed Security Service Provider
A managed security service has a multitude of advantages over standard local security measures. The key difference is that managed security is an outsourced service provided by a third party who specializes in the sector. Unlike standard local digital security, an MSSP (Managed Security Services Provider) can dedicate their time to managing your Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) tools, firewalls, antivirus systems, intrusion detection and prevention and of course, vulnerability/compliance management.
This contrasts strongly when compared to standard security measures which involve all security software and hardware be present on-site along with an expert staff of IT professionals specializing in managing all of the previously mentioned systems. All of this would, of course, be at your organization’s expense entirely.
