Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) October 03, 2017
MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named MKACyber to the Top 100 MSSPs list for 2017 (http://www.MSSPAlert.com/top100). The list and research identify and honor the top 100 managed security services providers (MSSPs) that specialize in comprehensive, outsourced cybersecurity services.
The Top 100 MSSP rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s readership survey combined with aggregated third-party research. MSSPs featured throughout the list and research proactively monitor, manage and mitigate cyber threats for businesses, government agencies, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations of all sizes.
“The role of a Managed Security Services Provider is an extremely important one to a growing number of organizations. MSSP Alert has a strong understanding of the market and the importance of the MSSP and I am thrilled that MKACyber made its list of top 100 MSSPs. We have important work to do and recognition like this validates how we approach that work,” said Mischel Kwon, CEO of MKACyber. “We believe that security is a business problem that can be solved by applying logic, elite expertise and sound judgement. Our goal is to create security operations programs that are repeatable, effective and that safeguard our clients’ long-term business success.”
Building and operating a true MSSP requires major financial, technical and business commitments. An overwhelming 74 percent of top MSSPs surveyed maintain their own security operations centers (SOCs) on a 24x7x365 basis. Another 14 percent depend on hybrid models in which some SOC services are outsourced, while only 12 percent of top MSSPs completely outsource their SOC operations.
Demand for MSSPs has escalated amid rising cyberattacks, malware and ransomware incidents worldwide. The cybersecurity skills shortage has further heightened the need for world-class MSSPs. The global MSSP market will reach $40.97 billion by 2022, a 16.6 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2016, according to Allied Market Research.
“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate MKACyber on this unique honor,” said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. “As organizations worldwide scramble to safeguard their digital assets, brand identities and customer relationships, they increasingly leverage the Top 100 MSSPs for effective cyber services.”
