Market Overview
Need for Greater Security in Enterprises Drives Growth in the North American MSSPs Market
With hackers continuing to innovate and refine their attacks in various new formats, more businesses with networks to protect, will seriously consider partnering with Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) as their own resources for dealing with these threats fall short of expectations. “Threats continue to be malicious and complex and malware is increasing alarmingly, highlighting the need for companies to defend all the endpoints attached to the corporate network,” notes the analyst of this research service. “MSSP providers have realized that throughout the industry the key to managing these threats is to seize and maintain the initiative through an increasingly preventative posture.” Security products have continued to improve in capability and yet, there is no evidence of a let-up in the number and variety of network attacks. Hence, MSSP services will experience stable demand.
The bleak economic scenario is forcing enterprises to reduce IT spending while still striving to maintain strong security measures. The scarcity of qualified personnel required to secure a network infrastructure round the clock is forcing organizations to consider outsourcing. Outsourcing security to a MSSP will allow organizations to concentrate on core business processes and a growing number of organizations are becoming less fearful of handing over sensitive information to MSSPs.
Confusion Over Regulations Hampers Market Progression
While MSSPs can assist clients in complying with regulations, organizations are still displaying a reluctance due to budget constraints and doubts on measuring ROI benefits without actually experiencing a serious breach. There is a lack of information with regard to damages in terms of costs that serious data breaches entail. Stepping up education on the benefits obtained by outsourcing security to an MSSP provider is crucial for organizations to realize the tangible benefits of the service. The confusion over regulatory policies has remained an issue for many industries. Variations concerning network security laws and liability between different industries and regions are rampant.
“While the industry-specific legislation is often nebulous, the combination of overlapping and exclusive laws affecting their respective regional markets has been a source of considerable confusion for administrators,” explains the analyst. “Multinational corporations, in particular, are scrambling to comply, and that confusion itself is slowing MSS industry growth.” In addition, the numerous legislations that exist from state to state are creating perplexity in the network security arena. Uncertainties over legislation and compliance are expected to tone down, but will cause a stir in the market as compliance issues evolve and change in the future.
