TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MSSP Alert, published by After Nines Inc., has named Digital Hands to the Top 250 MSSPs list for 2021 (http://www.msspalert.com/top250).

The list and research identify and honor the top MSSPs, managed detection and response (MDR) and Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) providers worldwide.

The rankings are based on MSSP Alert's 2021 readership survey combined with the digital media site's global editorial coverage of managed security services providers. The fifth-annual list and research report track the managed security service market's ongoing growth and evolution.

"Our entire organization is committed to an unrelenting focus on protecting our customers during an unprecedented rise in cyber-crime. Digital Hands is excited to receive this ranking from MSSP Alert which recognizes our innovative approach to providing high value security services, delivered at speed, to prevent, detect, and respond to security threats." Said Charlotte Kibert, Vice President of Customer Success at Digital Hands.

"A big thank you to our customers who continue to work with us, help us grow, and trust us with protecting their organizations. We continue to climb up this list year after year and it wouldn't be possible without our amazing team, customers, and our partners." said Charlotte Baker, CEO of Digital Hands. "Moving up 55 spots in 2 years to #44 and joining the top 50 MSSPs this year is a huge honor."

"After Nines Inc. and MSSP Alert congratulate Digital Hands on this year's honor," said Amy Katz, CEO of After Nines Inc. "Amid continued ransomware, malware and supply chain cyber attacks, the MSSP Alert readership and community continues to mitigate risks for businesses and government organizations worldwide."
