GRAPEVINE, Texas, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Buchanan Technologies to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2021.
The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs, managed detection and response (MDR) and Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) providers worldwide.
The rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s 2021 readership survey combined with the digital media site’s global editorial coverage of managed security services providers. The fifth-annual list and research report track the managed security service market’s ongoing growth and evolution.
“It’s an honor to be ranked alongside the world’s most prestigious managed security service providers,” said James Buchanan, Founder and CEO of Buchanan Technologies. “More than ever, we are committed to supplying our customers with the most innovative and robust managed cybersecurity solutions to combat today’s constantly evolving cyber threat landscape.”
“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate Buchanan Technologies on this year’s honor,” said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. “Amid continued ransomware, malware and supply chain cyber attacks, the MSSP Alert readership and community continues to mitigate risks for businesses and government organizations worldwide.”
