Incenter Technology Named to 2019 MSSP Alert Top 200 Managed Security Services Providers List

SAFETY HARBOR, Fla., Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Incenter Technology: MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Incenter Technology to the Top 200 MSSPs list for 2019 (http://www.msspalert.com/top200). The list and research identify and honor the top 200 managed security services providers (MSSPs) that specialize in comprehensive, outsourced cybersecurity services.

Previous editions of the annual list honored 100 MSSPs. This year's edition, at twice the size, reflects MSSP Alert's rapidly growing readership and the world's growing consumption of managed security services. MSSP Alert's readership has grown every month, year over year, since launching in May 2017.

The Top 200 MSSP rankings are based on MSSP Alert's 2019 readership survey combined with aggregated third-party research. MSSPs featured throughout the list and research proactively monitor, manage and mitigate cyber threats for businesses, government agencies, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations of all sizes.

"We are excited to be ranked among the managed security services providers honored, in our first year of operation." said Scott Baron, President of Incenter Technology. "I couldn't be prouder of the hard work and dedication of our team; we all truly believe in the power of the collective work we do to protect our clients day in and day out. We are beyond grateful and proud to be recognized."

"After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate Incenter Technology on this year's honor," said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. "Amid the ongoing cybersecurity talent shortage, thousands of MSPs and IT consulting firms are striving to move into the managed security market. The Top 200 list honors the MSSP market's true pioneers."

MSSP Alert: Top 200 MSSPs 2019 - Research Highlights

The MSSP Alert readership survey revealed several major trends in the managed security services provider market. Chief among them:

    --  The Top 5 business drivers for managed security services are talent
        shortages; regulatory compliance needs; the availability of cloud
        services; ransomware attacks; and SMB customers demanding security
        guidance from partners.
    --  69% of MSSPs now run full-blown security operations centers (SOCs)
        in-house, with 19% leveraging hybrid models, 8% completely outsourcing
        SOC services and 4% still formulating strategies.
    --  The Top 10 cybersecurity vendors assisting MSSPs, in order of reader
        preference, are Fortinet, AT&T Cybersecurity, Cisco Systems, BlackBerry
        Cylance, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, SonicWall, Carbon Black, Tenable
        and Webroot (a Carbonite company).
    --  Although the overall MSSP market enjoys double-digit percentage growth
        rates, many of the Top 200 MSSPs have single-digit growth rates because
        they are busy investing in next-generation services - including managed
        detection and response (MDR), SOC as a Service, and automated
        penetration testing.
