MSSP, MDR and Security VAR Spin-Outs
Although M&A activity among MSSPs remains strong, the opposite trend also has accelerated. Indeed, multiple businesses have spun-off their MSSP and cybersecurity organizations. Sometimes, the move is designed to unlock shareholder value. Other times, the spin-out is designed to increase the MSSP or cybersecurity company’s pure-play focus on a particular market niche or opportunity.Key industry moves include:- November 2021: NXTsoft spun out its ThreatAdvice division as a standalone MSSP.
