By managed security services, the managed detection & response segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR) is a comprehensive cybersecurity services that combines advanced technology with human expertise to monitor and respond to threats in real-time. MDR provides continuous surveillance of an organization's network, endpoints, and cloud environments, ensuring swift threat identification and mitigation. By outsourcing these tasks to an MDR provider, enterprises can maintain strong protection without investing more staff members.
For example, First State Community Bank implemented MDR services to improve its security infrastructure. By integrating MDR, the bank was able to better use its Cisco products, resulting in a more integrated security posture. This approach improved threat detection and response times, giving the bank a more proactive security posture while ensuring the safety of its customers' data by outsourcing its managed security services to an expert provider.
The IT infrastructure & data center services segment holds the largest market share during the forecast period based on service type.
Managed IT infrastructure & data center services provided by third-party MSPs cover critical operations like server management, network monitoring, storage, and data center operations. By delegating these responsibilities to specialized providers, companies can concentrate on their primary business activities, knowing their IT systems are secure, adaptable, and well-maintained. MSPs handle essential operations such as cooling, power management, physical security, and adherence to industry standards. They also use strong safety protocols to guard against cyber attacks and illegal access, using advanced encryption, authentication utilizing multiple factors, and real-time threat detection.
For example, OnX supported a client in combining two data centers and virtualizing 175 physical servers into a lesser number than 40 Cisco UCS blade servers. This consolidation, backed by Cisco, EMC, and VMware, reduced the client approximately USD 1 million in operational expenses while increasing management efficiency. OnX offered additional managed services such as network monitoring, data backup, and troubleshooting, enabling the client to improve performance while concentrating on core company activities.
As businesses grow or their needs evolve, MSPs adapt the IT infrastructure and data center to meet new demands. By partnering with experienced MSPs, organizations benefit from professional management, enhanced security, and compliance, allowing them to concentrate on business growth and innovation.
Based on the managed mobility services, the mobile device management segment holds the second highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Mobile Device Management (MDM), a crucial component in managed mobility services which enables businesses in managing and protecting mobile devices in the workplace. MDM services assures that enterprises configure, monitor, set up and manage devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. By employing MDM, companies set security policies which restrict access to sensitive information based on user responsibilities and device compliance. MDM services include remote device management, allowing organizations to rapidly lock or delete lost or stolen devices. In addition, MDM assists in verifying that only authorized applications are deployed, reducing the possibility of malwar. These measures help to prevent unauthorized access and decrease the potential of data breaches, which leads to a safer work environment.
Conde Nast, a leading media organization, had significant issues controlling the mobile devices used by its field personnel, who reported maintenance concerns in many locations. At first, the company gave unmanaged Android cellphones which raised concerns over improper use and a lack of supervision. Understanding the requirement for an MDM solution, Security Manager Samuel Jimenez devised a plan to ensure that devices were only utilized for work-related duties simultaneously improving management efficiency.
After looking into several MDM systems, Jimenez decided to go with Hexnode for its user-friendly interface and powerful features, mainly the kiosk mode, which gave better control over accessible apps. Hexnode assisted Conde Nast in remotely monitoring devices, ensuring compliance with security requirements and facilitating the deployment of important applications.This change increased productivity while also offering assurance of data security.
