MSSPs provide a range of services such as managed firewall, intrusion detection, virtual private networks (VPN), vulnerability scanning and antiviral services. Managed Service Providers (MSPs), like MSSPs, offer IT services but differ significantly in their offerings and focus. MSPs specialize in help desk support, cloud computing and network infrastructure management while MSSPs specialize in comprehensive cybersecurity services like threat detection/response/assessments/compliance management. MSPs focus on managing IT infrastructure, while MSSPs focus on providing cybersecurity services. MSSPs also have specialized expertise in security technologies and often use advanced tools to monitor and manage security systems. While MSPs may offer some security services, their scope is generally smaller and less comprehensive than those offered by MSSPs.
