The IDC MarketScape report highlights CSC’s cloud-ready offerings and the ability to protect virtualized workloads in private and public environments, along with the use of system-wide automation for provisioning and early prevention and detection of threats.

According to the analysis, CSC’s partnerships and acquisitions provided added value to its cybersecurity mission. The report noted the creation of CSC’s next-generation, ISecOps platform, a set of cybersecurity service processes built on top of ServiceNow security operations, for the integration of IT service management (ITSM) data and processes into cybersecurity monitoring, event handling and incident response.

“By adding security operations from ServiceNow, client organizations can formalize their response process to close the gap between security and IT,” said Dan Hushon, CTO, vice president & general manager, Cybersecurity, CSC. “CSC is combining our ServiceNow consulting capabilities with our market-leading cyber services to bring clients a new, fully integrated, SecOps operating model.”

CSC has a team of more than 1,800 security specialists working in the areas of Consulting Services and Managed Security Services. These professionals assess security needs, implement new technologies, and control and manage critical operations enabling clients to securely adapt to business and risk changes.

IDC collected and analyzed data on 17 organizations in 2016 that offer MSS in the Asia/Pacific region. The evaluation included more than 45 in-depth interviews with managed service providers and their clients to assess service capability across the MSS life cycle, revenue, price competitiveness, service-level agreements (SLAs) and security operations center (SOC) staffing.
