MSSP
Managed Security Service Provider
A vendor that delivers outsourced monitoring and security management.
A managed security service provider delivers outsourced security capabilities such as round the clock monitoring, intrusion detection, log management, and incident response, frequently operating a SOC on the client's behalf. It helps organizations that lack the staff or expertise to maintain continuous defense in house. Engagements rely on clear SLAs and careful scoping of responsibilities and access. The distinction from an MSP is focus: an MSSP specializes in security operations, whereas an MSP handles broader IT administration.
Looking MSSP up is step one. Getting tested on it is step two.
