"Unprepared organizations, when notified of a breach by external entities such as the FBI, are increasingly employing professional security service providers to address security emergencies," said Frost & Sullivan Network Security Research Director Frank Dickson. "Evolving compliance requirements for organizations will also amplify the need for professional security services."
While more organizations are opting to outsource security services, some remain reluctant to employ professional security services as they are concerned about ceding control of or extending visibility into their sensitive data to outsiders. In mitigating these data control and visibility concerns, a sales strategy needs a combination of logic and emotion. Professional security service providers should present a logical business case including a compelling return on investment for migrating security function to them while assuaging their customers' emotional concerns about the sanctity of their sensitive data.
"Furthermore, providers of professional security services need to include a strong managed security services component to their product portfolio too, as the link between managed security services and professional services is unmistakable," opined Dickson. "Managed security service providers report that providing professional services is their strongest source of new business generation."
Overall, acquisitions will change the market as firms that traditionally serve the IT sector look to gain entry or improve their competitive position in the North American professional security services market.
