Digital Defense, Inc., a SaaS security technology provider, announces over 200% growth of their partner channel from the prior year by focusing on trends and challenges faced by MSSPs (managed security service providers).
Digital Defense leverages AWS (Amazon Web Services) to provide its solution globally with many MSSPs leveraging the company’s SaaS platform to effectively and seamlessly deliver vulnerability and threat management services to their customers. “Perhaps the biggest challenge of all for MSSPs lies in finding the right technology infrastructure partners,” says Cybersecurity Ventures’ Steve Morgan.
Security management
It’s not just about the technology though. It’s as much about the people"
“It’s not just about the technology though. It’s as much about the people. We asked Larry Hurtado to join us, in part, because he’s been with Digital Defense since 2002, and CEO there for the past thirteen years. He’s steadily grown the company, which now has more than a hundred employees — with a focus on ensuring success for clients and partners.”
Digital Defense has identified the trends as platform scalability, true multi-tenancy, solution accuracy, single pane of glass enablement, and service gap-fill. Challenges MSSPs will face in the years to come include, but are not limited, to threat volume and diversity, skilled labour shortage, brand awareness growth and protection, and complexity introduced with the security management of multiple technologies.
Business growth strategies
Emtec, an IT consultancy and solutions provider and Digital Defense partner, responds to MSSP challenges by helping clients drive transformation and growth by employing the latest technologies and processes to empower their employees, accelerate innovation and deliver amazing client experiences.
Enterprise security is not something that is ‘bolted on’ to business processes and applications"
“Enterprise security is not something that is ‘bolted on’ to business processes and applications — it MUST be woven into the fabric of the enterprise operations and business growth strategies,” says Doug Goodall, managing director for Emtec, an IT consultancy headquartered in Radnor, Pa., with offices throughout North America and India.
