Managed security service providers (MSSPs) deliver 24/7 monitoring and incident response for hundreds of customers across large, hybrid environments. As they add more customers and ingest more logs, MSSPs face mounting difficulties in collecting and processing that data before routing it to downstream security tools. Doing this reliably at petabyte scale while accounting for complex, customer-specific taxonomy and compliance requirements is a major challenge.

Jesse Emerson, Chief Product Officer at LevelBlue, the world’s largest pure-play Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), recently sat down to answer a few questions about what makes an MSSP a valuable client resource and how he sees the MSSP’s role changing in the coming year.

For the second consecutive year, LevelBlue has been named a top-ranked Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), placing fifth on the prestigious MSSP Alert’s Top MSSP 250 list for 2025. “LevelBlue is the world’s largest pure-play Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), offering AI-driven, cloud-native cybersecurity solutions across managed security, MDR, offensive security, strategic advisory, and incident response,” MSSP Alert said.
