Managed Security
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
Security capabilities delivered by an external provider on behalf of an organization, such as monitoring, device management, vulnerability handling, or incident support. Managed security is broader than a single product because it includes people, processes, and service-level responsibilities.
In plain English: Security work handled by an outside provider instead of entirely in-house.
Example: "The startup used managed security for 24/7 alert triage because it could not staff a round-the-clock internal team."
