The global Managed Security Services (MSS) market size was $15 billion in 2018, and is projected to grow to $23 billion by 2021 at a

compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%

Growth momentum in segments such as Threat Intelligence, Research, Detection and Remediation (TIRDR) and Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) is expected to drive future growth of the MSS market

Security Asset Management and Monitoring (SAMM), the largest revenue contributor at 50%, is expected to grow slower than the overall MSS market

The financial services and government sectors remain the top two revenue contributors to the global MSS market, with the manufacturing sector growing quickly due to digital transformation

Key factors influencing the growing adoption of MSS globally include increasing attack surface, sophistication of threat actors, economies of scale, and stringent regulations

M&A activity is primarily targeted at horizontal acquisitions to either acquire/expand technical

capabilities/portfolio of offerings, or enhance geographical presence

Key inhibitors to the growth of MSS include the lack of threat visibility and clarity on assessment of

return on investment

`

SLAs vary according to different service packages offered by MSSPs, and are broadly defined by parameters such as average response time to security events and average response time to service failures

Higher guaranteed service parameters lead to in higher contract values

Customers’ geographical footprint — be it global, regional, or local — and the corresponding requirements regarding regulatory compliance and the possibility of off-shoring affect the annual contract size

Other factors such as the length of subscription service and integration with other services—managed, professional/technical security, or system integration—affect annual contract size

Contracts with longer time spans often have lower annual contract value – on average, 3-year contracts are preferred, but the length of the contract can vary from 1 to 10 years

Several MSSPs reported that organizations requiring particular procedures to collect, store, and manage log data (such as to comply with a local regulation) often yield higher contract values

Average annual value of an MSS contract is ~$280,000

One-time set-up fees are often included in the annual contract – either calculated per site or per device

Integration with other services, and greater volumes of monitored/managed devices often result in price discounts

MSSPs with SMB Clients MSSPs with Enterprise Clients

MSSPs, serving both SMB and Enterprise level clients, identified that the cost of cybersecurity solutions available on the market is the number one challenge faced

Many enterprises still do not believe that they are vulnerable to an attack, thereby are slow to adopt – surveys show that while awareness is on the rise, many still do not have full visibility and appreciation of the threat landscape and its potential impact on operations

There is an inherent difficulty in showing the exact return on investment from hiring an MSSP, with the benefits clear only when the enterprise has been the subject of a target attack

Data center locations matter to enterprises when choosing services providers, and given that not all MSSPs can afford to have multiple cross border data centers, it poses a major hindrance to the adoption plans

Outsourcing of these security services often relies on internal IT teams’ qualified opinions, and initial resistance comes from the instinct of self preservation

The average MSS contract value is $280,000, out of reach for most small and medium sized businesses, although there is a rising trend in MSSPs focused on SMBs – offering both flexible and acceptable price points to encourage adoption

North America(USA & Canada)

The North American MSS market is projected to increase at

double-digit rates for the next 3 years. Market demand is driven

by the increasing volume, diversity, and sophistication of cyber

threats aimed at a broadening exposure footprint. This is

compounded by outdated security practices, plus challenges of in-

house staffing and adaptation.

05Latin America (Brazil, Caribbean and Central America,

Mexico, the Southern Cone, and the Andean Region)

The Latin American MSS market size was $619 million in 2018, and is expected grow at a

CAGR of 15% to $935 million by 2021, at a CAGR of 15%. Brazil is the largest at 39%,

followed by Mexico at 21%. In Latin America, security asset management and monitoring

holds the largest share of the market at 71%, followed by threat intelligence, research,

detection, and remediation with 18%.

02Europe, Middle East & Africa(EMEA)

The MSS market in EMEA has grown at a double-digit YoY rate since 2015. The financial services and government

sectors remain the top 2 industries in EMEA’s MSS market in terms of revenue. Europe’s manufacturing sector will

likely contribute a significant portion of overall MSS growth, due to increased digital transformation leading to greater

MSS demand. The top 3 countries for MSS in terms of revenue are the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.

Asia Pacific (APAC) –India, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan,ASEAN, Australia & NZ

The APAC MSS market crossed revenue of $3

billion in 2018 – with Japan (31%), and Australia

and New Zealand (24%) holding the largest

market shares. South Korea remained the 5th

largest MSS market with growth rate of 10%.

CPE-based services held the largest revenue at

70% while hosted security services (HSS)

contributed the rest. Growth is set to continue

due to the increasing adoption of cloud services

and the shift from capex to opex-centric

budgeting.

03

04India

The RCM and AEM markets in India were valued at $33 million and $16 million respectively in 2017. The latter is expected to grow faster given the

higher uptake of managed identity and access management (IAM), managed endpoint security, and managed data loss prevention.

actionable intelligence and move clients

from a reactive/victim state to an

proactive/anticipatory state

» Automation and unification will also be

growing technology waves as client IT
