As the job of securing companies from cyber attacks get tougher and data privacy demands increase, new research from Fortinet shows that, far from going into in-house lockdown, IT leaders are increasingly considering managed security services.

In Fortinet’s latest global survey of over 1,600 IT leaders in large enterprises, decision-makers revealed a growing appetite for managed security services, with a quarter citing ‘outsourcing some or all IT security functions’ to a managed security service provider as the single most important initiative for confronting the rising complexity and volume of cyber threats in their organisations.
