Summary

This report examines how MSSPs can add value to their clients’ cloud investments in: 1) cloud monitoring; 2) managed detection and response (MDR); 3) identity and access management (IAM); 4) cloud compliance; and 5) cloud governance, procurement negotiations, cost management, and operational reviews.
