An MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) is an MSP specialized in security, delivering 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response for their customers.
A Managed Security Service Provider is a partner that delivers ongoing security services: SOC monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and compliance. MSSPs embed vendor security products into a fully managed offering.
The MSSP runs a Security Operations Center, ingests customer telemetry, and bills a monthly fee. They select vendor products that fit their detection stack and often resell licensing at scale.
For cybersecurity vendors, MSSPs are one of the highest-volume routes to market and a critical channel to design for.
No. MSSPs specialize in security and typically operate a SOC. Many MSPs offer some security services without being MSSPs.
