Re: MSSP Services Question

Hi Lawrence,
The MSSP and/or MDR providers usually fall in to a few 'buckets' - which are you interested in?

  1.  MSSP service that will co-manage or fully manage your existing SIEM.
  2.  MSSP service that will co-manage or fully manage other security products such as firewalls, EDR, etc.
  3.  MDR or SOCaaService that will fully manage your environment and give you the option to co-manage but will provide 
the SIEM tools, analytics platforms, 24x7 soc, incident response, etc.

If it's A - is your SIEM/SOAR toolset on-prem or in the cloud?
If it's B - what products do you want monitored and is there central logging already?

Subject: MSSP Services Question

Hello,

We are considering MSSP services to complement our WPI security team. Primarily we are interested in MSSP offerings 
that provide the primary SOC function during off-hours (after 5 PM weekdays)  and weekend support. However, we would 
also be interested in MSSP services to back up our on-site team during normal work hours.

I would be interested in hearing from any University that currently uses or is thinking about using MSSP services. Can 
you share the service provider you currently use and/or would recommend I speak with?

Thanks for your help.
