The spike in damaging cyber attacks and the publicity it has received is making enterprises in Latin America more conscious of their vulnerability and the need to better handle security requirements. Growing realization that security services are a valuable investment and that third party vendors have the expertise and the infrastructure to ward off sophisticated attacks will sustain growth in the managed security services (MSS) market in the region. “Web applications and mobile devices have become the vehicle of choice for attacks, making it easier for security to be compromised and compelling companies to outsource their security services to efficient third party service providers,” saidFrost & Sullivan Research Analyst Bruno Tasco. “Employees using their personally-owned devices for work-related activities have increased security liabilities over which companies do not have control, representing added opportunities for providers.”
