The managed services business for cybersecurity is projected to grow to $46.4B in 2025, up from $31B in 2020. Why do organizations need managed services, such as Managed Detection and Response, for cybersecurity? What is the best approach for your organization to keep pace with today’s threat landscape?

In this interview, Tom Field of Information Security Media Group and Colin O’Conner, chief operations officer at ReliaQuest, discuss:

  • The different flavors of managed services - MSSP, MDR, co-managed - and the best option to help organizations in today’s threat landscape;
  • An introduction to Open XDR-as-a-Service - a different approach to help organizations bring together tools and data sources to achieve true visibility for unified detection, investigation, response and resilience.
  • Examples of how organizations are leveraging managed services to tackle their security challenges, including ransomware, phishing, secure cloud environments and more.
