LevelBlue, the world’s largest pure-play provider of managed security services, announced it has been named as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Security Service Edge (SSE) Services 2025 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US52992425, September 2025).
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Enterprises seeking a managed SSE service with multivendor flexibility and strong MDR integration should consider LevelBlue. Midmarket clients looking for cost-effective managed SSE options may also benefit from LevelBlue's tiered model.”
Furthermore, the IDC MarketScape states that,“In 2025, LevelBlue expanded its existing MDR foundation and other adjacent security capabilities through the acquisitions of Trustwave, Stroz Friedberg, and Elysium from Aon. These additions strengthen the company's global footprint and extend its capabilities in risk management and digital forensics/incident response.”
According to the IDC MarketScape,“LevelBlue supports multiple vendors for SSE, including Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Access), Fortinet, Zscaler, and Cisco, allowing clients to integrate with existing infrastructures or select new solutions.” Furthermore,“The service is delivered using an ITIL-based model and will be available in three tiers in 2026: Essentials, Advanced, and Premium.”
LevelBlue’s managed SSE offerings deliver comprehensive, cloud-based protection through a unified suite of capabilities, including Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS). Designed to meet each client’s unique requirements, LevelBlue combines customized solutions delivered on industry-leading SSE platforms with expert guidance from seasoned consultants and solutions engineers. This approach helps organizations simplify implementation and ongoing management while reducing cybersecurity labor and tool costs, enabling teams to focus on higher-value business initiatives.
LevelBlue believes an SSE solution is crucial to safeguard systems operating in today’s hybrid work environment, where connecting and securing remote workers, continuously monitoring for potential risks, and proactively addressing them, is paramount. These capabilities enable organizations to maintain a strong security posture and reduce the likelihood of successful cyberattacks.
