NTT Positioned as a "Challenger" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Global Managed Security Service Providers
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to
Execute
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 17, 2014) - NTT (NYSE:
NTT) today announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading IT research and
advisory firm, has positioned NTT in the "Challengers" Quadrant of
the 2014 Magic Quadrant (MQ) for Global MSSPs1.
NTT and its operating companies offer a wide range of managed
security services to large and mid-sized enterprises. The company
has been expanding its capabilities, solutions, and global reach in
managed security services through a series of strategic
acquisitions in recent years.
Gartner defines managed security services as "the remote
monitoring or management of IT security functions delivered via
shared services from remote security operations centers (SOCs), not
through personnel on-site." Gartner writes, "This Magic Quadrant
for Global MSSPs presents enterprise buyers with advice on
selecting an MSS provider to support global services
requirements."
Gartner views MSS as a mature, growing market and identifies
several factors that are driving MSS market growth. According to
Gartner, "The primary drivers for MSSs have been consistent for
several years: 24/7 threat management and meeting compliance
requirements. These may be complemented by related drivers, such as
the desire to redirect existing resources to other security areas,
or the need to engage deeper or broader expertise than is available
in-house. An emerging driver is support for the protection from and
detection of targeted attacks through MSSP knowledge of the
external threat environment, through insight gained from monitoring
events from a broad and global customer base, through MSSP-based
advanced analytics, or through MSSP monitoring of customer-deployed
next-generation protection and detection capabilities."
"The breadth of threats across all industries and verticals has
ushered in a new era of security, which now requires a melding of
technologies, services and companies to address and mitigate
increasing and aggressive attacks aimed at information,
communications and technologies (ICT)," said Tsunehisa Okuno,
Director and Senior Vice President, Director of Global Business
Office, NTT. "This is the first ever global Magic Quadrant for
MSSPs, and we appreciate Gartner's efforts to evaluate what we
believe is one of the most disruptive mergers of leading MSSPs. We
are working aggressively to integrate our services and offerings to
help our customers protect their information and technology assets
in a rapidly changing global marketplace. We believe the
combination of our global footprint, comprehensive security
services, R&D investments, and industry expertise will make us
a pace setter for innovation in the global security services
marketplace."
As written by Magic Quadrant author Kelly Kavanagh, a Gartner
principal research analyst, "Gartner expects that growing
enterprise experience with cloud-based infrastructure and
applications delivered as a service and accommodating the access of
consumer technology to corporate systems, will result in greater
acceptance of, and reliance on, cloud-based security-as-a-service
offerings." Additionally, Kavanagh notes, "In 2013, the global
market for security outsourcing was $12 billion, with a forecast
compound annual growth rate of 15.4% through 2017."
