What does it take to be one of the world’s top managed security service providers (MSSPs)? We’ve got it. Find out why it matters to you.
For the fourth year running, AccountabilIT has been named to a prestigious list of the world’s top 250 MSSPs, updated each September. Our best-in-class services and customer-first culture has helped us climb the list several notches: in 2020, we placed in the top 35% (ranked at #88 out of 250), up from the top 40% in 2019 (when we ranked #78 out of 200).
“It’s an honor to be named to the MSSP Alert Top 250 Managed Security Services List for the fourth year in a row,” said Chuck Vermillion, AccountabilIT CEO. “As we witness cyber criminals rapidly increasing in presence and growing more sophisticated in skill, I am proud of how our team has stepped up to the challenge again this year, working diligently and tirelessly to keep our customers safe.”

What is an MSSP?
A managed security service provider offers outsourced monitoring and management services of security systems and devices. Think: managed firewall, vulnerability scanning, antiviral protections, intrusion detection, spam blocking, and so on.
Instead of having to invest constantly in cybersecurity tools and their related operational and personnel costs, you can partner with a provider like AccountabilIT, which brings you 24×7 coverage for a fraction of the cost.
Why is an MSSP important?
The need to be fully covered from a cybersecurity perspective is increasing as risks of cyberattacks (ransomware, malware, and viruses, to name a few) are also on the increase. A cyberattack on your business or other security incident could lead to massive disruptions in workflow and productivity. What’s more, recovering from such an incident could be an expensive wake-up call.
What is AccountabilIT’s cybersecurity approach?
We seek to put our customers first and foremost in everything we do, and one of the ways we deliver on that promise is through our leadership and innovation in the cybersecurity space. With our mature security operations in place, we were in a position to quickly start to leverage Microsoft Azure Sentinel when it was released in 2019.
Azure Sentinel helps us see and halt threats before they become harmful, and even makes the threat detection and response smarter and faster with machine learning (ML).
