Fourth-Annual List Honors Leading MSSP, MDR, and SOCaaS Cybersecurity Companies Worldwide

MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named CyberMaxx to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2020.

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.

The rankings are based on MSSP Alert’s 2020 readership survey combined with the digital media site’s global editorial coverage of managed security services providers. The fourth-annual list has expanded from 2019 (200 honorees) and 2018-2017 (100 honorees) amid MSSP Alert’s continued, organic readership growth.

“CyberMaxx is honored to be recognized as a Top 100 MSSP and very proud to increase our ranking by 52 spots.  This ranking demonstrates our growth, innovation, and commitment to the more than 132,000 healthcare heroes we protect,” said Thomas Lewis, Founder, and CEO, CyberMaxx.

“After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate CyberMaxx on this year’s honor,” said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. “Despite the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s honorees continue to accelerate their businesses, mitigate customer risk and safeguard digital assets worldwide.”
