"You can't outsource your liabilities. But [MSSP] specialists might beat the local generalist team. It all depends. A well-skilled in-house team will likely beat an outsourcer, but might not be able to provide 24-hour-a-day cover. And if an in-house team doesn't have the skills or

"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.
