MSP
Managed Service Provider
An MSP is a third-party company that remotely manages a client's IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, and end-user systems. Unlike MSSPs, MSPs focus primarily on IT operations rather than security, though many offer basic security services.
Cómo se usa en ciberseguridad
Organizations rely on MSPs for day-to-day IT management while contracting separate security providers for threat detection. Security teams coordinate with MSPs during incident response to gain access to infrastructure and apply patches. CISOs evaluate whether their MSP's security practices meet organizational risk tolerance and compliance needs.
