Through these criteria, they identify the 12 most significant vendors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These 12 vendors include BlueVoyant, Cipher, ControlScan, CyberProof, Delta Risk, Encode, InteliSecure, Kudelski Security, Nuspire, Proficio, Rapid7, and StratoZen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wave Report describes Forrester\u2019s findings concerning how each provider meets its researchers\u2019 evaluation criteria. Thus, with this information, Forrester\u2019s researchers place each vendor on their Wave; the graph, in turn, positions each vendor as a Leader, Strong Performer, Contender, or Challenger in relation to one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The editors of Solutions Review read the full report. Here\u2019s what we found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=6m9Z7SVq*Tw&amp;offerid=507388.1627&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=6m9Z7SVq*Tw&amp;bids=507388.1627&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4&amp;gridnum=16\" alt=\"Generic Category (English)728x90\" width=\"800\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Key Capabilities in Midsize Managed Security Services Providers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this report, Forrester researchers isolate and explore the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/soar-buyers-guide-security-orchestration-automation-and-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">key capabilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of midsize managed security services providers in Q3 of 2020. In particular, Forrester cites threat intelligence and Microsoft integrations as key differentiators in the market. This proves especially true when considering the stagnation of legacy MSSP approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Forrester acknowledges the pivoting of the market to managed detection and response (MDR) capabilities. However, MDR only comprises a small subsection of MSSPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among its other findings, researchers note that MSSPs should operate as an opportunity to outsource enterprises\u2019 security operations. Instead, it must work as an extension of current security teams via collaboration and augmentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>3 Leaders in the Forrester Wave: MSSP Providers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the report, Cipher, Encode, Proficio, Nuspire, and ControlScan all receive the label of Contenders. Meanwhile, StratoZen, Delta Risk, BlueVoyant, and InteliSecure all land in the Strong Performers section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, CyberProof, Rapid7, and Kudelski Security all receive the title of Leaders. CyberProof receives praise for SeeMo, its virtual analyst that provides vulnerability and threat intelligence. Rapid7\u2019s reporting capabilities garners praise. Kudelski Security specializes in customization to match specific needs and requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can read the full <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapid7.com\/info\/mssp-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forrester Wave: Midsize Managed Security Services Providers, Q3 2020<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> here.
