Managed Service Providers focus on general IT operations including network administration, helpdesk support, and system maintenance. They may offer basic security features but lack specialized threat detection and incident response capabilities.
Managed Security Service Providers dedicate their expertise to cybersecurity, delivering advanced threat monitoring, behavioral analysis, and compliance support. MSSPs employ security specialists who understand evolving attack techniques, particularly email-borne threats like BEC and vendor impersonation that require deep behavioral analysis to detect.
