The 12 Best Managed Cloud Security Services Providers

Maintaining security in the cloud should be a multi-layered approach. Your cloud provider will have security tools and policies in place to protect their clients’ data and your enterprise should employ its own set of best practices to keep your cloud environment secure. However, for some cloud users, this might not be enough. If you want more protection for your cloud deployment, you might consider a managed cloud security services provider.

Cloud security managed services can range from security assessment and guidance to security monitoring and identity management. How do you determine which managed service provider is right for your cloud environment? We compiled the 12 best managed cloud security services providers, including information on what they provide and which cloud deployments they support.
