OREANDA-NEWS. December 20, 2013. Frost & Sullivan has awarded the 2013 Market Share Leadership Award for Managed Security Services to Verizon Enterprise Solutions. This award is presented to the managed security services provider that has demonstrated excellence in capturing market share within its industry and providing leading solutions capabilities.

This year’s award recognizes Verizon’s accelerated leadership in linking threat, risk and compliance for clients.

According to Michael Suby, VP of research at Frost & Sullivan, “Verizon is in a unique position with its unparalleled visibility into the global threat landscape and its range of managed security service offerings from cloud- to premises-based solutions.  The company has done a stellar job of integrating threat intelligence into its service delivery models in order to safeguard today’s global enterprise across a broad range of vertical industries.”

Our approach to managed security services enables clients to focus on their core business competencies, while allowing us to provide high visibility into today’s ever-changing security landscape. No other provider can match these capabilities.”
