Security: Magic Quadrants for MSS (remote monitoring or management of IT security functions)

According Gartner: "Managed security services (MSSs) [is defined] as "the remote monitoring or management of IT security functions delivered via shared services from remote security operations centers (SOCs), not through personnel on-site." Therefore, MSSs do not include staff augmentation, or any consulting or development and integration services."
