With the rapid evolution of cloud technologies and the development of hybrid cloud solutions, the IT landscape has changed significantly. While multi-cloud architectures offer greater flexibility and resiliency, they also bring increased management, security, and compatibility challenges.
More and more companies are turning to Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to ensure an effective IT security strategy that cannot be managed in-house due to limited resources or lack of expertise. Selecting and engaging the right MSSP requires a comprehensive risk analysis, an understanding of the company’s specific needs, and a systematic approach.
