The increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats, coupled with the growing complexity of IT environments, have driven managed security service providers (MSSPs) to evolve their strategies.

This evolution reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated, AI-driven platforms that deliver seamless, scalable, and context-aware security operations.
