Who should attend: Security & Risk professionals

Description:

The question of whether to outsource security is an almost existential dilemma for many firms — and the answer often depends on whether a company considers security part of its core business or if it would rather have a specialist handle some of the more complex and specialized tasks. Organizations usually entrust physical security of their facilities to outside security firms, and IT security is not fundamentally any different. The main reasons why firms outsource IT systems not viewed as core to their business — too many competing priorities, cost, and lack of in-house expertise — apply equally well to IT security. This is why more and more organizations are relying on outside firms to manage their security continuously by employing the services of MSSPs. This teleconference discusses the current market conditions — significant players and future direction of this market.
