Rising Malicious Cyber-attacks to Propel Adoption of Managed Security Services in Government and BFSI Sectors in India
Managed security services (MSS) offer an organized approach for providing 24X7 monitoring, managing and consulting to organizations for addressing their security needs.
These services can be broadly categorized into perimeter protection MSS and access control MSS. Perimeter protection MSS include firewalls, email security gateways, network intrusion detection, host intrusion detection and unified threat management. Identity access MSS, on the other hand, include services like user provisioning, web access and managed identity. With increasing incidences of cyber-attacks, zero day attack, malicious malware, SYN flood, etc., India's managed security services market is forecast to witness double digit growth through 2019.
