MSP Vs MSSP is there a distinction anymore
                     M S P  Vs M S S P  is there a 
distinction  anymore?
MSP v MSSP –  is there a distinction anymore? Well, yes and no. Yes  there’s a 
distinction because if you look at any established MSSP today,  you will  see 
things in their stacks and teams that an MSP doesn’t have.  Yet… To date, 
MSPs have been focused mostly on endpoint protection and  prevention. We 
know the attack surface has broadened through on-  premises to hybrid, to 
multi-cloud, to applications, and IoT/OT  environments with employees 
accessing company resources from  virtually anywhere, using company-
o wned systems or unmanaged  personal devices.
The # MSP response has  been  to  start  buying  tools  and  
knowledge acquiring  to secure as much as they can for r e s u l t  
h e r e  their clients. The net  is that the average MSP is now 
managing a stack ofdifferent security tools –  a point product for 
some piece of the MSSP  security stack pie and acquiring them in 
one of two ways:
1.Partner with security vendors to deploy multiple point products and  hire 
staff  to support. This forces data & detection  &  people  into  multiple silos 
making remediation diffi cult. This in turn requires  expensive security analysts 
to oversee it  all hoping  that they never  blink & miss something.
2.Outsource to managed detection & response vendors. This sti ll  results in 
incomplete systems, & data & detection that is sti ll silo’d (see  #1 above). Add 
to this that the MSP relinquishes insight, control and  profit margin to 
someone else.
Neither option is ideal and outsourcing simply off loads the inherent  
problems to someone else; it’s not really solving the problem. The Problem 
with  Siloed Security Soluti onsThe Problem with  Siloed Security 
Soluti onsAlert Fatigue – multiple alerts from multiple systems, some of them 
redundant making it difficult to trust the data.
Accurate threat detection is difficult as data is incongruent and  lacks the correlation 
of a unified approach.
Dashboard Fatigue – from too many dashboards to manage, one for  each point 
product.
Integration and maintenance is expensive & time-consuming for a  big stack.
So, here’s the rub…both options above are expensive and time  consuming, yet 
protection & prevention is not enough.

MSPs need a way to detect & respond to today’s cyber threats. They  need a 
better way to view threats across multi-cloud and on-premises  
environments to increase their efficacy in protecting their client’s
Resources & reducing the time it  takes  to  detect  and  respond  to  Many 
incidents MSPs have chosen  to  outsource  their  profits  and  their control 
o u t s o u r c e to MDR providers. That’s an option that is
What about real time remediation? An alert from a vendor isn’t good  
enough anymore. Enter the idea of MDR + SIEM + SOC  =  More  expense, no 
improvement in efficacy, & low low margins for the #MSP.
Attacks and breaches are sti ll getti ng in and happening daily. More and  more 
MSPs are losing sleep and struggling with audits and insurance  knowing they 
don’t have a strong detection and response program  beyond endpoints. 
Deploying a SIEM, building a big tech stack, and hiring a team has  always 
been considered an impossible dream.
But now with automation driving  the ability to respond and  remediate  in 
real time, it’s finally possible to launch advanced compliant  cybersecurity 
services built on a SIEM without dozens of eyes on glass.
We are solving this challenge at Seceon. Seceon’s  aiMSSP Platform  does all 
the work. It effi ciently ingests logs, fl ows and events at scale  across on-
premises to hybrid, to multi-cloud, to  applications,  and  IoT/OT including all 
devices  regardless of where they connect  from.  95% of cyber threats are 
detected and automatically blocked with AI/ML. Remediation happens in 
real time. I believe this is the only way to meet insurance and compliance 
requirements for your clients AND remain profitable.

So the choices are:
1: License, deploy and manage a big stack and team.
2: Outsource advanced security to a MDR or MSSP and outsource  control 
and outsource profit with no improvement in efficacy.
3: Leverage the power of AI/ML. Launch a high-margin,  security 
advanced service that meets compliance requirements and  replace the 
dozens of eyes on let AI/ML glass.
You built your MSP, now you have an opportunity to quickly become an  MSSP. 
You absolutely can reduce risks and pass audits for your clients.  At the same 
time, you can retain your profit margin for a healthy,  scalable and 
sustainable managed security services business.
