Fifth–Annual List Honors Leading MSSP, MDR and SOCaaS Cybersecurity Companies Worldwide

September 22, 2021, Huntsville, AL: MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named MAD Security to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2021 (http://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 2021 readership survey combined with the digital media site’s global editorial coverage of managed security service providers. The fifth-annual list and research report track the managed security service market’s ongoing growth and evolution.

“We are both proud and honored to be named among the top 250 MSSPs List,” said Jeremy Conway, President, MAD Security. “All of the credit in achieving this honor and the explosive growth we continue to experience goes to our MAD Security Professionals. It is their passionate adherence to our core values and unwavering commitment to our client’s success that has enabled us to achieve this recognition in a short period of time.”

“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate MAD Security on this year’s honor,” said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. “Amid continued ransomware, malware and supply chain cyber attacks, the MSSP Alert readership and community continues to mitigate risks for businesses and government organizations worldwide.”

Highlights from the associated MSSP Alert research include:

  • MSSP Revenue Growth & Financial Performance: MSSP honorees, on average, expect to generate $22.3 million in revenue for 2021, up 16% from $19.2 million in 2020. The growth rate remains consistent with last year’s report.
  • Geography: Honorees are headquartered in 26 different countries.
