What is an MSSP in Cybersecurity?
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.
