Who needs a cyber security services provider?
Large enterprises typically have the resources they need to hire cybersecurity experts in-house.
For the rest of us, it’s tough to keep up with cybersecurity. A good MSSP (managed security services provider) is flexible, ready to provide fully managed services (if you don’t have a team) or co-managed services alongside existing staff. It’s all about covering your gaps.
In fact, a comprehensive MSSP steps in exactly where they’re needed. If the company also handles other disciplines, as Corsica does, they can provide diverse services such as:
- Managed cyber security
- Managed IT support services
- EDI + data integration
- Cloud system services
- vCIO consulting
If you need help with any of the above, a service provider like Corsica is the answer. That’s why we’re here!
How can I find 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring services for my business?
Look for a company that provides SOC as a service. A SOC (security operations center) is a dedicated facility with specialized staff handling cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection, response, and remediation.
Implementing and maintaining a SOC in-house is incredibly expensive. This is why many businesses choose a SOC as a service provider like Corsica Technologies. Our SOC as a service offering provides:
- 24/7/365 cybersecurity monitoring services
- 24/7/365 threat detection and response
- Comprehensive cyber incident remediation services
- Proactive, managed cybersecurity updates
- Strategic cybersecurity consulting

How do I choose a cybersecurity managed services provider?
Not all MSSPs (managed cybersecurity service providers) have the same strengths. It’s important to understand your needs and how an MSSP may or may not meet them. Here are some key questions to ask.
- Do we want to work with an MSSP who outsources their SOC (security operations center)? Or do we prefer a unified team and an MSSP who handles everything in-house? Your provider’s approach can affect the quality of your service.
- Do you have technologies or requirements like EDI, data integration systems, ERP, or other specialized technologies that need to be included in your cybersecurity strategy? If so, look for an MSSP like Corsica Technologies who can handle every type of technology that you use.
- Do you prefer 100% predictable monthly pricing, or can you absorb fluctuations in your monthly bill? Unlike most MSSPs, Corsica Technologies promises 100% predictable costs every month regardless of how many service hours you consume.
These are the most important questions you can ask any MSSP as you evaluate your options. Here at Corsica Technologies, we provide favorable answers to these challenges.
- We don’t outsource our SOC. Rather, we manage our SOC entirely in-house on behalf of our clients.
- We handle EDI, data integration, ERP, and other specialized technologies. This ensures that you get a comprehensive approach to managed cybersecurity.
- We offer 100% predictable monthly pricing, even when your service needs increase or decrease. This ensures that you stick to a budget and don’t experience cost overruns.

What are the latest trends in managed cybersecurity services?
The world of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and the best managed service providers are adapting to stay ahead of emerging trends. Here are the developments that we see with our clients here at Corsica Technologies.
- AI-augmented SOC (security operations center). AI is changing how SOCs operate. Sophisticated AI tools are taking on responsibilities in routine anomaly detection and triage, allowing human experts to focus on more complex problems.
- AI tools for business are introducing new data security risks that must be addressed thoughtfully. MSSPs are responding with data cleanup projects, user permission audits, secure data integration, and AI implementation methodologies that place cybersecurity at the core.
- Unlimited service consumption with predictable pricing. Gone are the days when MSSPs could charge by the hour and bill for wildly different amounts every month. The best MSSPs are committing to 100% predictable monthly pricing, regardless of how many service hours the client consumes. This empowers the client to stay on budget—and it’s the approach we take here at Corsica Technologies. Learn more: The Corsica Difference.
What are the top-rated incident response services available?
Incident response and containment is a critical service for any organization. When a cyberattack occurs, you have minutes to respond and contain the threat.
Here are the top-rated incident response and containment services from leading providers.
- Corsica Technologies’ Incident Response and Containment Services. Corsica Technologies consistently wins awards as a top provider of cybersecurity services, and their in-house SOC (security operations center) empowers them to create the best outcomes for clients. Corsica’s unique billing model guarantees 100% predictable pricing every month—regardless of how many service hours the client consumes.
- CrowdStrike’s Incident Response Services. As a leading provider of MDR (managed detection and response) software, as well as other cybersecurity solutions, CrowdStrike is a solid choice for incident response. However, it’s unclear if the company offers 100% predictable monthly billing.
- Optiv’s Incident Response Services. As a recognized leader in cybersecurity services, Optiv is a good choice for incident response services. However, it’s unclear what billing model the company uses, which could lead to unpredictable fluctuations in charges.

What options do I have for continuous system monitoring?
To monitor systems continuously and respond to threats, you need a SOC (security operations center). There are two ways to implement a SOC:
- In-house (including hiring, operations, and management)
- Outsourcing to a trusted partner
Some organizations may be able to justify the cost and hassle of creating an in-house SOC. However, most companies get the most value (plus cost savings) from outsourcing.
