Contract with a third-party for managed SIEM services is increasingly affordable and requested by all-size organizations. Without any doubt, the advantages associated with this service allow monitoring, analyzing, and responding to cyber security threats more cost-effectively. However, what is a managed SIEM precisely? Is the price the only feature to take into account? What is the difference between a managed SIEM Provider (MSP) and a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)?

Businesses today have many tools in their security stack and security teams find themselves spending too much time managing the tools and not enough time tackling business-critical projects. Security tool overload creates internal challenges and distracts from the primary business mission. How can companies better protect themselves while staying on track to achieve goals?

A managed services partner should do more than run the tests you choose. The right partner will work with you to shape your application security program. If your firm has attempted to hire internal security experts lately, you know they’re few and far between.

The results from the 2021 Global Security Attitude Survey paint a bleak picture of how organizations globally are feeling about the cybersecurity landscape before them. Organizations are grappling with shortages of cybersecurity skills and a lack of capability to detect and contain intrusions in a timely way.

In today’s evolving threat landscape, the decision of whether to bring in external talent expertise is no longer optional. During the 2021 Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit, we heard other facts and figures that aligned with the needs of our customers and of the market. At the summit, Gartner analysts noted that organizations must have partnerships with MSS/MDR providers and security consulting firms if security is to enable corporate business objectives.

On the shifting threat landscape, security investments are growing, the complexity of security solutions continues to increase, hence the need for managed security service providers (MSSPs) will continue to grow proportionally.

Over the last several years, Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) have evolved, and some have started offering Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services as part of their overall security solution. However, an MSSP lacking MDR capability simply cannot provide the same level of security, particularly in today’s quickly changing environment that has seen remote and hybrid work become the norm.

MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Cybriant, a leader in cybersecurity services, to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2021. The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs, managed detection and response (MDR), and Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) providers worldwide.

At AT&T Cybersecurity, we believe in the exceptional expertise of our managed security service provider (MSSP) partners. That’s why we are delighted to announce the launch of our new, simplified MSSP Partner Program that will help enhance your business. Our aim is to enable our MSSP partners to successfully monetize security capabilities and achieve exceptional growth and profits by delivering superior, next-generation managed security services to customers.

A cybercrime organization with Russian origins called REvil claims to have infected 1 million systems across 17 countries. It is now demanding $ 70 million in bitcoins in exchange for a “universal decryptor” that will return users’ access. Hackers targeted the US IT company Kaseya, and then used that company’s software to infiltrate the victims’ systems, using a zero-day vulnerability.
