Sponsored Feature Most experts agree cybersecurity is now so complex that managing it has become a security problem in itself.

Growing complexity, skills shortages, and rising costs have resulted in huge growth in the managed security service provider sector over the last decade.

A separate argument is that the once everyday task of threat detection and response has become too demanding and specialized to be carried out by in-house security teams which must also balance this function with their everyday security tasks.

At the heart of its proposition to customers is its integrated security service, Managed Defense.

One of the company's senior cyber security managers, Sam Mannox, agrees that for many organizations, using an MSSP has become the only way they can access advanced security capabilities in an affordable way.

"Organizations don't have the budget to conduct security in house, and to monitor their own security 24/7. To do this, you need a big team and that costs money," suggests Mannox.
