Today marks a strategic leap forward in LevelBlue’s mission to become the most complete cybersecurity partner on the market. I’m excited to announce that LevelBlue has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cybereason, a global leader in Extended Detection and Response (XDR), digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), and elite threat intelligence. Together we’ll deliver unified, proactive, and outcome-driven security solutions around the globe.

Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and costly for businesses all around the world. Despite investing in solid IT/security teams, businesses are struggling to ward off cyberattacks. There are three main problems with in-house teams: limited staff, restricted budgets for advanced tools, and a lack of specialized expertise to cover every threat. So, what’s the solution? Managed Cybersecurity Services.

For Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Web Application and API Protection(WAAP) services have become table stakes. Enterprises expect MSSPs to deliver continuous security-policy management, rapid patching, zero false positives, real-time responses to zero-days, and audit-ready compliance reporting. The challenge? Delivering all of this as a part of MSSP managed WAF service can quickly become a margin drain.

MSSPs operate high-availability Security Operations Centres (SOCs), which enable them to deliver 24/7 security services designed to reduce the burden on enterprises in staffing and maintaining operational security capabilities. MSSPs play a pivotal role by extending security operations on behalf of their clients.

Today marks an exciting day for LevelBlue and for the broader cybersecurity industry. I’m pleased to announce that LevelBlue has completed its acquisition of Trustwave, a global leader in cybersecurity and managed detection and response (MDR). This is more than a business transaction; it’s a strategic leap forward in our mission to redefine what it means to be a trusted cybersecurity partner in an increasingly complex, high-stakes world.

First appearing in the late 1990s, the Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) market is one of the most mature service offerings in the cybersecurity sector. However, this sector remains increasingly important and Trustwave is a continuous innovator in the space, as can be seen by Frost & Sullivan naming Trustwave 2024 Company of the Year in the Americas Managed Security Services Industry.

As CEO of Trustwave, I’m excited to share a pivotal development in our journey to deliver world-class cybersecurity to our clients: Trustwave has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by LevelBlue, a global leader in AI-driven managed security services. This marks a significant milestone not only for our company but for the entire cybersecurity industry, as it brings together two recognized innovators to create the world’s largest pure-play Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).

I’ve been in the security business, and specifically cybersecurity, for the majority of my adult life. Throughout my career, I’ve noticed trends of decision-making that organizations often follow, both good and detrimental for their security posture. Of these trends, I’ve found that choosing the right Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) is one of the most critical decisions you can make for your organization.
