Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

G2 has named ThreatSpike a Leader in Managed Security Services (MSSP) in their Fall 2026 report, ranking as the vendor for the sixth time running since Summer 2025. The ThreatSpike reviews behind that ranking point at the same two things every time: we show up faster than everyone else, and we don’t disappear once the contract’s signed.

MSSPs are being asked to secure more clients, across more industries, with more tools than ever before. This post explains why simply adding another threat feed to the stack doesn't solve the problem, and what MSSPs need to operationalise intelligence at scale.

A Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) in cybersecurity is a third-party organization that remotely manages and secures a client’s IT systems, networks and data. MSSPs provide cybersecurity services, including threat monitoring, incident response and compliance support. By outsourcing these functions, organizations can improve their security posture and reduce the burden on internal teams without requiring a large in-house security operations team.

LevelBlue has been named the Growth and Innovation Leader in the Frost Radar: Managed Security Services in the Americas, 2026 report, a recognition that reflects our continued focus on helping organizations simplify cybersecurity operations, strengthen resilience, and navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Cybersecurity has moved from isolated tools to continuous operations. Most environments already generate alerts and logs across systems, yet attacks still progress undetected. The problem is not visibility but the speed at which teams can detect, understand, and respond to threats. The gap is not caused by a lack of tools but by limited execution capacity. This is where managed security services providers (MSSPs) come in. Modern attacks increasingly rely on identity misuse and legitimate system tools.
