Cyber Resilience: A Top CISO Priority
GET THE WHITEPAPER
CISOs Tap MSSPs to Move from Prevention to Cyber Resilience
Cyber resilience ranked as the top priority for CISOs in 2025. Research finds 82% of CISOs outsource some or a majority of their cybersecurity needs.

Therefore, we asked security leaders what makes a managed security services partnership work–and what derails it.
Find out what security leaders said about:
- The need to deliver tangible business value
- 7 attributes required for a strategic MSSP partnership
- Examples of where MSSPs fall short in SOC operations and MDR
- What security leaders want from Co-Managed MDR Services beyond the basics
For years, companies have treated cybersecurity as an IT responsibility based on preventing security events. With a higher mandate to reduce operational risk, CISOs can now frame cybersecurity as a strategic asset rather than a cost center by showing how security investments support business innovation.
Aiming for prevention becomes trickier by the day. A focus on resilience increases preparedness to minimize loss and disruption via fast recovery and adaptation.
