What Is an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider)?
An MSSP, or managed security service provider, is an MSP specialized in cybersecurity - delivering managed monitoring, threat detection, response, compliance and security operations for customers on an ongoing basis. MSSPs combine security products from multiple vendors with their own expertise to protect customers around the clock.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. An MSSP assembles its service from many security vendors - firewalls, endpoint, SIEM, identity - each with its own rebate and incentive program. With security spend rising and subscription incentives common, the rebate opportunity is meaningful and fragmented. One partner-side view across every security vendor keeps that money tracked and claimed.
