Businesses are continuously stepping up their cybersecurity readiness by adding in more and more tools and resources. Additional tools required more bodies to manage them, so SMBs and middle market enterprises - often budget and resource constrained - turned to managed security services providers (MSSPs) to reduce the strain. MSSPs could manage tools like anti-virus and malware protection, remote device management,and security information and event management (SIEM) configuration. This should free up analyst bandwidth, reducing the requirement to hire staff.
Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, there’s more to consider...
