Why Have Managed Services Become Essential in Cybersecurity?

Süleyman Petek, Cybersecurity Manager at Abdi İbrahim, discussed the shift towards managed cybersecurity services becoming a necessity. Petek stated:

“In my opinion, the value of procuring ‘managed services’ really depends on how you structure the arrangement. If you engage a company that is a true expert in the field, it will genuinely empower your organization. This is because cybersecurity today—much like the medical profession—comprises various domains that require deep, specialized knowledge. It is simply not feasible for you and your team to develop deep expertise in every single area, nor is it easy to secure the necessary internal resources. Therefore, opting for managed services—provided you work with the right partners—will significantly boost your speed and enhance your operational capabilities. The demand for managed services will continue to grow in the future, as acquiring such specialized expertise is challenging; as the cybersecurity landscape expands in every direction, achieving deep proficiency across all areas becomes increasingly difficult. For this reason, I believe that collaborating with and managing managed service providers will become the prevailing trend.”
