Conclusion
Managed security services are likely very worthy of your consideration. After all, midsize organizations like yours face the same threats as every other organization. Building your own security operations center (SOC) takes people (typically 14+ full-time security analysts for 24x7x365 coverage), money, tools, and continuing education. Whether you partner with a MSSP or build, both are a continuous improvement effort requiring continuous engagement. There are no silver-bullets or set-it and forget-it technologies or services.
Selecting the right MSSP takes time.
The market is large, and there are many factors to consider. But if you dig in, ask tough questions, and know what you’re looking for, the job is a lot easier. The results you get and your experience with the provider will be worth it.
