| 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." |
