Which service should a cybersecurity administrator utilize to efficiently manage an on-premises network with a reduced team?

Utilizing a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) is an effective approach for efficiently managing an on-premises network, especially when operating with a reduced team. MSSPs offer specialized security services, including continuous monitoring, threat detection, and response capabilities. This allows organizations to leverage external expertise and advanced technologies without requiring a large internal cybersecurity team.

By partnering with an MSSP, a cybersecurity administrator can enhance the organization’s security posture through access to skilled professionals and the latest security tools, which may not be feasible to maintain in-house, particularly when resources are limited. This collaboration helps alleviate the operational burden on the internal team, allowing them to focus more on strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day cybersecurity management.

In contrast, other options like Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP), Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) do not specifically address the needs for managing security operations comprehensively within a reduced team. While each may play a role in the overall infrastructure, they do not provide the same level of managed security support that an MSSP would offer.
