According to recent reports, Managed Security Service expenditures are set to double to nearly $50 billion in 2023.
As the tech industry continues to mature and cybersecurity skills shortages climb to record highs, many firms are turning to Managed Security Service Providers (or MSSPs) to help shore up internal security gaps. But this is only half the story; the truth is that there are a number of advantages that MSSPs provide over traditional in-house IT departments.Also, with the cost of cybercrime set to top $5 trillion over the next five years, an incredible number of cybersecurity firms have been founded in the last few years.

The penetration test, or as it is fondly nicknamed, the pentest, has been a security staple for decades. But is it time for an upgrade?
As security breaches and budgets continue to bloom, many firms are looking for ways to boost their security preparedness by taking advantage of the latest innovations in AI, DevOps, and security analytics. In this episode, we'll discuss five of the latest updates to the classic penetration test, helping you decide which, if any, are a good fit for your business. -
Adoption of technologies such as Internet of Things devices (IoT), cloud applications, complex digital supply chains, open-source code, and more have resulted in the expansion of organization's attack surfaces and exposure to breaches.
Now more than ever, organizations require increased visibility into how their digital environment looks from an external perspective. Viewing your attack surface the same way as a hacker is the best way to spot and remediate attack vectors and security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Generally, the larger the surface, the more entry points there are for hackers to gain unauthorized access to your organization. For that reason, it's critical to institute tools and practices to reduce your exposure as much as possible and ensure proper management and continuous monitoring.

Unfortunately, organizations across nearly every sector are still struggling to secure their public-facing applications.
In 2022, for example, Silent Breach security consultants found that 92% of web applications tested contained serious or critical security flaws. In particular, we recently reported that 97 of the 100 largest airports are similarly compromised.
A major contributor to this trend lies in the fact that, for most organizations, the attack surface is only growing. CISOs are finding that they must defend against cyberattacks on multiple fronts: web, mobile, social, physical, wireless, cloud, and insider threats, to name just the most obvious.
