Are you vetting your MSSPs?

2021-01-19 05:30

The move toward managed security services has some distinct advantages but may also create security gaps for organizations relying on a provider to secure their data.

Some recent studies also have found a gap between what organizations expect of their security tools and how they actually perform.

A recent report from Mandiant found that organizations' security controls detect only 26% of attacks and prevent 33% of them.

Organizations streamlining operations through managed services - instead of building and maintaining their own security operations centers - gain advantages such as reducing their mean time to detection and remediation, but they may not be getting everything they need to fully secure their data.

The ability to integrate an organization's systems is also important, in order to align elements such as security information and event management, firewalls, and endpoint detection and response into a holistic approach.

Because of this, vetting MSSPs to ensure they will deliver what the organization needs is essential to protecting your networks.
