MSSP

TENEX.ai CEO Eric Foster says agentic AI can cut the manual work behind MDR, lower SOC costs and change how MSSPs staff and deliver security services.

Security acronyms are getting harder to untangle. For buyers, the real question is what the provider can see, what it can respond to and what still falls on your team.

ServiceNow is bringing exposure, identity, vulnerability management and incident response into one autonomous security model, with AI taking on more security operations.

Recurring revenue is rising, AI-native SOC models are taking shape, and MSSPs are under more pressure to prove outcomes as the 2026 Top 250 deadline approaches.

As attackers use AI to move quicker, MSSPs need to cut the time between detection, prioritization and response without losing the human judgment that matters when things get messy.

Optiv is expanding its MDR service to connect Google SecOps, Wiz and agentic AI with exposure management and remediation across customer environments.

The 30-day program lets partners package their own services, lead the customer relationship and turn exposure findings into follow-on remediation work.
