This is one of the biggest questions on everybody’s lips - Has security outsourcing really arrived? Some of the big names in the outsourcing industry are claiming that it has arrived and they are supporting these claims with people, money and research. A recent study conducted by CompTIA states that security will be one of the major drivers in the managed services market and firewall and security are the two services which are among the top managed services which have been employed by various organizations.
Richard Rysiewicz, V.P, CompTIA stated:
While there’s still some skepticism out there — security was also cited as one of the top three factors keeping companies from engaging a managed service provider — there are some providers that have reached a kind of ‘trusted advisor’ status, and they are being engaged more and more frequently to deliver security services.
It is expected that companies are going to entrust their security to third parties but it needs to be seen whether these security outsourcing companies will be able to stand the test of times or not since security is a sensitive issue and any mistake can have serious repercussions.
