The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs, managed detection and response (MDR) and Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) providers worldwide.
The rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s 2020 readership survey combined with the digital media site’s global editorial coverage of managed security services providers. The fourth-annual list has expanded from 2019 (200 honorees) and 2018-2017 (100 honorees) amid MSSP Alert’s continued, organic readership growth.
“CyberDefenses is pleased to repeatedly make this prestigious list for consecutive years,” Armando Ordonez, CEO, CyberDefenses said. “Our team puts an extraordinary amount of dedication into bringing military-grade security to enterprise and state and local government in ways that are specifically customized to our customers. It means a great deal to us to have this hard work recognized by MSSP Alert’s readership and editorial team.”
