3 Reasons Why Traditional Managed Security Services (MSS) Is Out

As organizations evolve their security programs, the complexity of their security environments grow. Complexity and change require an entirely new approach for the modern security operations center (SOC).

Security and risk leaders are looking for a partner to help them build in-house capabilities or outsource them altogether. As a result, the overall market for managed security services (MSS) is in a rapid state of evolution from traditional monitoring and management to more advanced, artificial intelligence (AI)-led (but human-driven) security services. Not to mention, companies are undergoing organizationwide digital transformation initiatives that require an entirely new approach to security across hybrid multicloud platforms.


What Needs to Change to Modernize Managed Security Services?


Traditionally, managed security service providers (MSSPs) have focused on the highest volume of log monitoring and alerting with a lack of context into investigations and a perimeter-focused defense. Traditional security service providers offer limited to no transparency into their investigations or context to define what gets escalated and what does not; they have become a black box. As attack vectors evolve and the volume and veracity of data increase, MSSPs are now at a pivotal moment in security. It is a question of evolving or becoming irrelevant to your clients.


Let’s dive a little deeper into three areas where your MSSP should be driving toward managed security modernization.
