Dataprise Named to MSSP Alert’s Top 250 MSSPs List for 2021

MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Dataprise to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2021 (http://www.msspalert.com/top250). 

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.

Dataprise is redefining the MSSP and MDR market by delivering a new category of cybersecurity offerings precisely architected for midmarket organizations and the strategic CIOs who protect them. This innovation is evident by Dataprise’s continued climb up the Top 250 MSPs list.

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. 

“The threat landscape has grown increasingly complex and challenging,” stated Steve Lewis, CEO of Dataprise. “Effective cyber security that tightly integrates with resilient IT infrastructure is critical to protecting midmarket organizations. Over the past year, we optimized our cybersecurity solutions by combining state-of-the-art technology, proven processes, and a vigilant team of cybersecurity experts to provide a best-in-class solution for strategic CIOs. Our increase in rank is reflective of our success and we are honored to be named a Top 200 MSSP by MSSP Alert.”

Dataprise is recognized as the premier strategic managed service and security partner to strategic midmarket CIOs and IT leaders across the United States. Dataprise’s Managed Cybersecurity solutions provide the necessary elements to protect an organization’s IT environment end-to-end.

“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate Dataprise 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.”
