Why MSSPs trade low: A look at security economics

On the 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 of Managed Security... 🤔 Why do MSSPs trade at <2× revenue while SaaS peers snag 10×? 👀 Every new client still needs human eyes; ☀️ A 24×7 SOC really takes five analyst teams. 🤜 Switch to automation-first ops and outcome pricing. When head-count drag turns into software economics, valuation multiples follow. Full paper & sources in comments. ⤵️ #MSSP #MDR #AiSecOps #Automation #Churros #UnitEconomics

Enrollment behind. Budget bloating. Timelines collapsing. That’s when your trial needs an intervention. The proof doesn’t always show up in the metrics — by the time they confirm trouble, the years and resources may already be lost. Rescue isn’t patchwork. It’s realignment. It’s rewriting the plan mid-course so the science still gets where it’s meant to go: to patients. The strongest leaders don’t wait for certainty. They act early enough to turn turbulence into momentum.

Here's what Bloomberg ACTUALLY wants: ✅ Industry disruption (not product features)   ✅ Surprising data (not company metrics)   ✅ Perfect timing (not your launch date)   ✅ Human impact (not technical specs) Real example:   "Procurement software saves 20%" ❌   "CFOs losing $2M annually to rogue spending" ✅ The structure that converts comes next. #MediaStrategy #Bloomberg #PRSecrets  

Contract chaos isn’t a niche problem—it’s an industry norm. Spreadsheets. PDFs. Manual renewals. Siloed teams. For capital markets firms, this status quo turns critical vendor contracts into a source of risk—not control. PostSig was built to change that. Our platform transforms post-signature contracts into a living, intelligent layer—so your team can: • Catch risks before they escalate • Control and forecast spend • Act on obligations with confidence That relentless focus on solving the real problem is why WatersTechnology named us the Most Innovative Market Data Initiative this summer. Recognition is great. But what drives us is the outcome: Helping capital markets teams protect margin, reduce friction, and move faster—with full contract clarity. 👉 Read the full story https://hubs.li/Q03G1Mqv0

It's tough out there, many providers, not enough profit. Too little growth. So what is holding you back? Telcos, MSPs, and ISPs are still often fighting each other inside the same customer base. The result? Wallet share sliced up and growth flattened.   🔎 All the data is there. It’s just scattered. 🎫 Your engagement team knows your customers. 💻 Your RMM/PSA knows your endpoints. 💰 Your finance system(s) knows your invoices. 🤐 But none of them talk.   Staqr unifies the customer/product/billing and dovetails into the PSA for actionable changes    That’s what makes it powerful.   👉 What’s the biggest “silent cost” you’ve uncovered from siloed systems?

CAT vs. NBi: Real Lessons from the Field 💡 In a recent project with a Swiss customer, we put CAT head-to-head with NBi – and the results revealed much more than just technical differences.   ↗️ It’s not just about features. It’s about scalability, integration, and how well tools can adapt to the real demands of enterprise data projects. ↗️ It’s about seeing what happens when open source hits the complexity of production environments. ↗️ It’s about learning directly from real customer challenges and outcomes.   We’ve captured the full story, including what worked, what didn’t, and why CAT proved to be the trusted choice for long-term data quality.

When the Swiss project hit enterprise reality, open source cracked — CAT didn’t, and that’s why the customer chose trust in their data 💜 .

📊 Why Success Rate is the #1 Metric in Proxies When choosing a proxy provider, don’t just look at the price per GB. The real ROI comes from success rate — how many of your requests actually succeed. Here’s why it matters: ✅ Fewer failed requests → Less wasted bandwidth ✅ Faster pipelines → Clean, structured data quicker ✅ Lower costs overall → You pay only for useful data ✅ More accurate insights → No gaps, no blind spots 💡 Always ask: What’s the provider’s proven success rate? Because a cheap proxy with 50% failures is actually the most expensive one you can buy.
