PHOENIX, September 17, 2021 (Newswire.com) – MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named ArmorPoint 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 services providers. The fifth-annual list and research report track the managed security service market’s ongoing growth and evolution.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the Top 250 MSSPs globally. We recognize that this could not have been accomplished without our dedicated partners and are humbled to have made this list,” said Corey Ayers, Director of Channel Sales at ArmorPoint. “We look forward to continuing to work with our partners to protect business of all sizes, develop best-in-class cybersecurity solutions, and redefine how businesses approach IT.”
