Key Terms

managed service provider technical

A managed service provider (MSP) is a company that remotely runs and maintains another organization’s technology systems—like networks, servers, security, or cloud services—on a continuous, contract basis. Think of it as hiring a building superintendent who ensures everything runs, gets fixed quickly, and is upgraded when needed. For investors, MSPs matter because they typically generate steady, recurring income, reduce client churn, and concentrate operational and security risks that affect profitability and growth.

managed security service provider technical

A managed security service provider (MSSP) is a company that organizations hire to run and monitor their cybersecurity defenses — like outsourcing a team of digital security guards who watch networks, respond to attacks, and keep systems patched and configured. For investors, an MSSP matters because it can lower the risk of costly breaches, provide steadier security costs and compliance support, and influence a firm’s operational stability and reputation, all of which can affect value and risk.
