Security solution providers are jumping on the managed services bandwagon in growing numbers. Currently only about 20 percent of solution providers that offer managed services reported offering security services, according to the IPED survey, making it the least most frequently offered managed service of the nine areas in the study. IBut it was also the No. 1 fastest-growing area, with nearly one-third of solution providers that offer or planned to offer managed services indicating they would add managed security to their portfolios over the next 12 to 18 months. As customers continue to adopt managed VoIP and network services, there will be a continuing shift toward managed security services as well.
