Companies equipped with advanced security analytics, threat intelligence, and the capacity to offer 24/7 security operations support are ideally positioned to benefit from similar opportunities. The requirement for real-time alerting, investigation, and remediation presents SMEs or large enterprises within the information technology and software sectors a chance to expand their client base by demonstrating proficiency in innovative cybersecurity solutions.
