IBM's latest research validates our long-standing position: security platformization works, but MSSPs need the right approach to truly benefit.

> Organizations with platforms took 72 fewer days to detect incidents and saw ROI four times better than non-adopters.

> MSSPs need more flexibility to secure multiple client environments, higher visibility standards, and the ability to scale deployments quickly.

> The "Salesforce for cyber" approach lacks customizability and is often provided by potential competitors to MSSPs.

> Our SecOps Cloud Platform offers the same consolidation benefits plus flexibility, visibility, control, and freedom—without vendor competition.
