Rowe: Global MSS Workshops

Phelim Rowe directs UK-based CTG Intelligence, an integrated events and education concerns for both channel partners and customers in the security technology space. After we do a “Hello World” we move on to talk about the use of acronyms and labels in our community: MSP, MSSP and MSS. Lean in, listen intently and discover the finer points between these earned and unearned (marketing) titles. And we end with a shout out to Forrester analyst Jay McBain who recently spoke at Rowe’s Miami security workshop.

Rowe: Difference between an MSP and MSSP


An attendee from across the pond, attendee Phelim Rowe isn’t your average participant at a security conference. Rather he’s a subject matter expert (SME) in the field and he orchestrates a series of partner security events global. In this conversation at the Acronis Global Summit Conference (Miami, October 2019), Phelim speaks towards the fine distinction between someone who is a Managed Services Provider (MSP) versus someone else who acts as a Managed Security Services Provider. A new twist on a hot topic.
