Today’s MSSP Alert Market News:
1. MDR Offering Debuts: Darktrace, a specialist in cybersecurity AI, has launched its new service offering, Darktrace Managed Detection & Response (MDR). The service combines its detection and response capabilities with the expertise of its global analyst team. This combination augments internal security teams with AI-powered threat containment and expert alert management across Darktrace environments, allowing them to focus resources on more strategic security efforts, like improving cyber resilience, the company said.
2. MSP Report Issued: Barracuda Networks, a cloud-first security solutions provider, has published “The Evolving Landscape of the MSP Business 2024.” The report shows how MSPs around the world are embracing marketplaces and AI to better meet customer needs but worry about their lack of knowledge about AI and its applications. The findings show that MSPs continue to shift from project-based customer support to a recurring services model. This year, MSPs expect 44% of their revenue to come from such recurring services, up from 34% in 2023. According to 92% of respondents, businesses are scaling back their in-house IT and relying more on MSPs, and this is likely to be a key driver for the rise in recurring services, Barracuda reports.
