Managed Security Service Provider — making an impact in Cloud Security & Compliance
A recent Gartner study forecast that public cloud market revenue will reach over $330bn this year.
Organisations of all sizes continue to realise the benefits of moving critical services to the cloud. However, against improving productivity and cost efficiency lie some significant risks — not least maintaining the required levels of security and compliance posture. Recent research suggests that the most significant barrier to strategy execution for cyber security leaders is the shortage of internal skills.
With this in mind, it is easy to see why Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) play a crucial role in allowing organisations to scale fast and with confidence that their environments aren’t threatened with additional risk. MSSPs demonstrate credibility in the market, certified by the cloud providers against specific disciplines.
Such disciplines are evident within the AWS Well-Architected Partner Program. This program is based around the Well-Architected Framework. It enables partners to establish good architectural practices, eliminate risk, and assist customers in building and responding faster to changes that affect their designs, applications, and workloads.
Customers get constant assurance and validation that they’re building to best practices across the six pillars of the framework — security, reliability, cost optimisation, operational excellence, performance efficiency, and sustainability. Providers can scale their customers quicker through faster identification of issues, significantly reducing time for remediation and ensuring alignment with them through a trusted framework. Underpinning that, the approach proves the catalyst in generating new and scalable revenue streams. The increase in automation drives security coverage for partner-customer and the market as a whole.
At Plerion, we’ve identified the value of helping MSSPs unlock their growth potential, so we are designing and building the first of its kind multi-tenant platform for MSSPs to help them achieve their objective of keeping their customers secure. The platform offering overview is mentioned below, which ultimately leads to lower risk and lower costs for providers and their customers:
- Multiple tools in a single holistic platform
- Detection of Cloud misconfigurations
- Detection of Workload vulnerabilities
- Detection of Identity and Access Privileges misconfigurations
- Extensive compliance reporting across CIS, HIPAA, NIST, PCI, FedRAMP, AWS Well-Architected & more
- Threat Modelling to assess attack paths and resource exposure
- Context builder providing high fidelity calculated risks
We’ve first-hand experience of the value created by MSSPs and want to support them with a platform that will enable them to scale faster and unlock new revenue streams.
