When to Partner with a Managed Security Service Provider

When to Partner with a Managed Security Services Provider

Tips to help you determine when it's time to work with an outside partner

From a security perspective, most organizations, large and small, struggle to fully understand their cyber vulnerability footprint in relation to their network infrastructure, and many lack the ability to find, train, and maintain a staff with the expertise to rapidly detect an intrusion or thwart a sophisticated cyberattack.

Decision makers have reached a crossroads: should they follow the conventional wisdom that certain security information management (SIM) functions should continue to be managed internally or should they entrust an experienced third-party vendor to focus on protecting their networks and data assets 24/7/365?

This white paper identifies when conditions are ripe for using a managed security services provider (MSSP), as well as the advantages of partnering with an MSSP to help you figure out your organization’s security posture and minimize your risk exposure.
