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.

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).
