"The typical IT department for a bank of our size is responsible for everything from the phone system, core financial apps, system maintenance, software rollouts and updates, disaster / recovery planning and testing, laser printer maintenance, batch scheduling, employee security settings, and the list goes on forever. Doesn't really leave much time for serious attention to be paid to attacks from oftentimes well-organized and coordinated cyber criminals... We rely heavily on our MSSP."

| Growth and Sustainability of Managed Security Services Networks: An Economic Perspective
A deep, unique look at Managed Security Services from market and economic modeling standpoints. From the Resource:
"In this paper we explore the structure of the MSSP market as well as its formation process and stability. We primarily try to identify whether there are indeed economic benefits for firms to hire external entities to manage their security. We look at the economic incentives that lead to particular choices in security outsourcing. For example, we show that it may be beneficial for firms to join larger groups (MSSP networks) just to hide themselves from potential attacks among other targets." | - Alok Gupta and Dmitry Zhdanov, Department of Information and Decision Sciences, University of Minnesota
