Managed Security Services Market/Partners/Potential Contacts? (for Asia and Middle East region)

“Hi ... Here are my comments for your questions: 1- MSSP market is bullish. There is no way that all the companies will have subject matter experts for 3 shifts on all information security domains, even if they do, spending around $40M for the security management infrastructure will not make sense. It makes sense to work with someone who has expertise, 7x24 operations, and the infrastructure. I have several reports from 3rs parties with the same highlights. Also having 60% security does not mean any security, so that is more market share for MSSPs. Yes, I do think Asia and Middle East will be key enlargement areas for MSSPs where security is a part of daily life. The more operations get online, the more companies will demand certified 3rd parties for security. My company (Integralis) has been a long time household name in information security has invested key resources on MSS solutions and we have recently acquired a company in UAE to expand our MSSP operations in Middle East. Now we have operations in Dubai. We are actively looking at MSSP operations at Pacific Rim as well. 2- All the MSSPs should be interested (See my recent linkedin answers for active player names) . That being said, I do recommend getting in touch with Integralis Channel contacts. We do have several system integrators and Telco's co branding our MSSP offering. 3- Well, I do know hundreds of contacts :) but that is probably related with the position I am in. But we had conducted several market surveys in multiple countries, it looks like 15% of the survey groups are already outsourcing or ready to outsource, that percentage increase with certain technologies such as IPS and E-mail.. I do have a lot of resources, so let me know if you have any specific solutions, Regards, - yinal ozkan
