Previously, SPARK Matrix leader for Managed Security Services is Kaspersky.
Kaspersky said that Quadrant Knowledge Solutions had given its comprehensive Managed Security Services (MSS) offering top marks for both its customer impact and service performance criteria.
The managed security services segment of the 2022 Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK MatrixTM: Global Market Dynamics, Major Trends, Vendor Landscape, and Competitive Positioning is thoroughly examined. In the form of the SPARK Matrix, the study offers competitive analysis and ranking of the top MSS suppliers. Additionally, it provides strategic data so that customers may assess the capacities of various suppliers, their competitive advantages, and their market share.

Businesses can feel secure knowing that a worldwide vendor’s staff is on hand to support them in even the most challenging circumstances when using managed security services in addition to traditional on-premise security measures. The specialists that provide managed security services are typically able to notice a complicated threat propagation since they have external visibility and objective telemetry for automated analysis, notwithstanding a potential experience or knowledge gap on the part of the customer’s cyber security personnel. This is crucial because functionalities like threat hunting, accurate attributing, and responding need to be continually improved in line with the modifications and effects of the most recent threat vectors, according to Veniamin Levtsov, vice president of Kaspersky’s Center of Corporate Business Expertise.
We are encouraging a growing preference for the service model in cyber security as a long-term market trend because companies don’t always have enough internal resources to meet such demand immediately. We therefore particularly admire QKS’ positioning of our managed security services as offering the best combination of technology and customer service, continues Levtsov.
Security and risk managers can respond to security events courtesy to managed security services, which give firms continuous monitoring of security assets and systems. Devices can be guarded from attacks, exposures, and other vulnerabilities occurring in the IT environment by using MSSs to identify, advise, respond, and provide corrective action. To improve an organization’s network visibility and overall security posture, MSSPs offer services for managed detection and response, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, device management, and other advisory services. MSSPs are trying more and more to strengthen their market strategy and entire value proposition to stay competitive, driven by the escalating competition and the appearance of a variety of vendors with varying technological strengths. MSSPs should be judged primarily on their level of technological sophistication, service capabilities, specialist knowledge, investments in research and development, integration of automation and orchestration, as well as company strategy and roadmap.
