Fourth-Annual List Honors Leading MSSP, MDR, and SOCaaS Cybersecurity Companies Worldwide
September 28, 2020, Point Roberts, WA: MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Fortify 24×7 to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2020 (https://www.msspalert.com/top250).
The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs, managed detection and response (MDR) and Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) providers worldwide.
The rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s 2020 readership survey combined with the digital media site’s global editorial coverage of managed security services providers. The fourth-annual list has expanded from 2019 (200 honorees) and 2018-2017 (100 honorees) amid MSSP Alert’s continued, organic readership growth.
“We are thrilled to be named to the top 250 MSSP’s for the fourth consecutive year. This is a testament of our commitment to our clients, partners, and our company to make cybersecurity a top priority. Fortify 24×7 will continue to advance our cybersecurity offerings and to deliver the most comprehensive security services to our clients, said Jeremy Murtishaw, CEO, Fortify 24×7.
“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate Fortify 24×7 on this year’s honor,” said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. “Despite the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s honorees continue to accelerate their businesses, mitigate customer risk and safeguard digital assets worldwide.”
