Tecala, Australia’s award-winning technology services and IT consulting provider, has been named as one of the world’s premier Cyber Security-focused, Managed Service Providers in Channel Futures Elite Security-Focused MSPs list.
Tecala is delighted to have been recognised on the Channel Futures Elite Security-Focused MSPs list for 2021. As one of only 38 managed security services companies to have made the global list, Tecala’s accolade was acknowledged from the pool of 2021 MSP 501 honorees and according to Channel Futures we are among “partners who are hyper-focused on this area, and who have demonstrated the highest security standards according to our [Channel Futures’] methodology.”
Frost and Sullivan’s Australia and New Zealand Managed Security Services Market Forecast to 2021 identifies a number of factors which are collectively driving demand for managed security services provision. They include a shortage of cybersecurity professionals with strong expertise, the evolution of more advanced threats and the introduction of stringent compliance regimes in Australia and abroad.
Traditionally, managed security providers were responsible for monitoring and logging incidents on client sites while in-house service desk personnel and security staff handled the response and remediation detail. This has evolved as businesses and public sector agencies increasingly seek to outsource their security detail entirely to MSPs who turn to tools and technologies which can make the task simpler and their efforts more effective. Security solutions such as those provided by our partner, eSentire, incorporate automated incident response capabilities, machine learning, artificial intelligence and community threat intelligence and have a clear edge over those which require a higher level of manual intervention.
At the same time, businesses looking to outsource their IT security function are typically seeking simplicity and surety. Maintaining relationships with a string of niche service providers is rarely compatible with this aim. That’s why, a managed security services partner such as Tecala, which can offer a one-stop-shop service holds considerable appeal. In 2022, the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage means demand for managed security services is unlikely to abate any time soon. Just as in our own business, we will work with vendors who are prepared to evolve their own product and service offerings to accommodate this new normal and look forward to working closely with our customers in the years ahead to ensure our delivery of their security posture continues to deliver results worthy of ongoing industry recognition.
