• What is an MSSP?
• How many service providers consider themselves MSSPs?
• What security components are Service Providers offering today, and what are they looking to add?
• What are the top challenges in transitioning to become an MSSP?
• How many Service Providers currently outsource components of their security offering?
• How many Service Providers have looked into partnering with a MSSP?
• How many Service Providers feel that becoming or partnering with a MSSP is critical to sustaining the future success of their business?

If MSPs don’t work to evolve their security offering, they will continue to lose customers and be left behind.

Service Providers today are faced with whether or not to pursue becoming an MSSP. While Service Providers weigh the pros and cons, the shift towards more cyber security continues to evolve. One of the largest drivers of this shift are clients requesting more and more security offerings.

One key finding from the survey found that 87% of MSPs reported they have lost end-user customers because they needed more security services they weren't currently providing. On the flip side, of those who consider themselves an MSSP today, only 5% report they have lost end-user customers because of the same reasons.
