Growth Opportunities in the Americas Managed Security Services Space, 2024–2026

Security Service Diversification and Target Customer Expansion to Address an Increasingly Complex Geopolitical Context

The Americas managed security services industry continues to grow steadily, despite its maturity. Current strategic imperatives, global trends, and organizational needs continue to provide excellent conditions for MSSPs to succeed. These factors include the shortage of cybersecurity personnel, the rapid evolution of the threat landscape, the increased costs of cyber incidents, the ubiquity of hybrid and multicloud environments that are harder to effectively secure, and the escalation of the geopolitical conflicts. MSSPs provide their own teams of cybersecurity experts and a wide portfolio of advanced security tools to address even the most varied use cases, and help organizations increase their cyber resilience, improve their security maturity, and implement the most complex cybersecurity strategies or deployments.

Leading MSSPs have developed their own security operations platforms to rival MDR providers and fight for their share of the fiercely competitive managed security services market. They have improved and extended their portfolios with advanced security services, assessments, consulting engagements, and more to support organizations at every stage of their security maturity journey. North America and Latin America are regions with different needs, and while their security awareness and service adoption levels vary significantly, security providers will have to find ways of delivering what organizations need.

With more than 200 competitors and revenue exceeding $14 billion across the Americas, managed security services is a behemoth of the cybersecurity industry.
