• Cyberattack Trends: The most frequent attacks targeting MSSP customers in 2023 include phishing (95%), vulnerability exploits (91%) and ransomware (86%).
• Cybersecurity Solutions: Larger MSSPs were more likely to run their SOC entirely in-house (85%) while just half of our smaller segment MSPs ran their SOCs in-house and 33% took a hybrid approach (a portion in-house and a portion outsourced.)

norm. was ranked among the Top 250 MSSPs for 2023.

“We are proud to be named on this influential list and be recognised for our efforts to make enterprise-grade managed security services available and affordable for the mid-market,” said Pete Bowers, COO at norm. “Mid-sized organisations are bombarded by millions of cyber threats each month, so it’s no surprise that many decision-makers can feel powerless in the face of it all. It’s rewarding to see that through our work here at norm., we are helping more and more companies cut through this noise and take control of their cyber resilience.”

“MSSP Alert and CyberRisk Alliance congratulate norm. on this honour,” said Jessica C. Davis, editorial director of MSSP Alert, a CyberRisk Alliance resource. “The Top 250 MSSPs continue to outperform the overall cybersecurity services market in 2023. It’s an indication of the strength of managed security services provided by these specialists at a time when cybercrime has accelerated and threatens businesses of every size and from every industry.”
