WEBINAR | Part 1 of 3 Boardroom Briefing Series: Managed Security
The Board Imperative For Managed Security:
Lower Risk, Faster Response, Predictable Cost
Why You Need It, What To Expect, What It Costs & How To Track Results
🗓️ Thursday 27th November 2025 ⏰ 14:00 (UK time)
Two forces have put Managed Security firmly on the agenda and boards want proof of outcomes.
1. The Threat Landscape: 74% of leaders say AI-led attacks are a significant challenge with 62% of security leaders cite lack of personnel as a major barrier to defence. Identity-based attacks are up 32% in H1 2025, while Gartner projects 45% of organisations will have experienced a software supply chain attack by 2025.
2. Operating Reality: Worldwide information security and risk management spending is projected to reach $213 billion in 2025. The MDR market alone is projected at $2.31 billion in 2025 with ~20% CAGR to 2032.
Takeaway: Adopt a Managed Security operating model that proves speed, coverage and cost control and use Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) to accelerate that outcome.
