An managed security
service provider (MSSP) provides outsourced monitoring and management of
security devices and systems. Common services include managed firewall,
intrusion detection, virtual private network, vulnerability scanning and
anti-viral services. MSSPs use high-availability security operation centers
(either from their own facilities or from other data center providers) to
provide 24/7 services designed to reduce the number of operational security
personnel an enterprise needs to hire, train and retain to maintain an
acceptable security posture.
