market. Frost & Sullivans analysis reveals that Trustwave differentiates itself by simplifying its services through its consolidated portal. Furthermore, Trustwave has been successful in offering new and enhanced services, as well as developing new technologies through a number of vendor acquisitions. Trustwave has uniquely acquired and integrated software and hardware based technologies into cloud and hybrid-managed services, which are then easily assembled and managed through Trustwaves TrustKeeper cloud portal. Overall, Trustwaves ability to acquire and develop new technologies and services has enabled the company to become a top player in the MSSP market. Factor 2: Broadening Trustwaves Portfolio Trustwave has broadened its security services portfolio by way of numerous acquisitions, most recently its 2012 acquisition of M86 Security, which has enabled the addition of managed Web security to Trustwaves portfolio. A series of acquisitions and innovation over the past several years has helped Trustwave add services beyond simple firewall capabilities, and affords the company the opportunity to develop and extend services to address the growing demand for emerging technologies such as Web application firewalls (WAF) and security information event management (SIEM). Trustwave has also been successful in developing acquired technologies into unique, new Managed Security Services. While these technologies were previously available as only software and customer selfmanaged appliances, Trustwave has made them available as managed offerings designed for customers that might not have time or resources to deploy and maintain these highervalue solutions themselves. While Trustwave offers classic managed security services, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention (IDS and IPS), it has made a concerted effort to go beyond offering these services and it supports its customers with a 'holistic integrated security strategy to maintain a strong security posture. As such, in 2012, Trustwave released new and enhanced managed WAF and managed SIEM solutions, both of which add to an existing portfolio of managed encryption, network access control (NAC), vulnerability scanning, IDS and IPS, and unified threat management (UTM) services. These advanced services move beyond traditional or perimeter services, providing the ability to manage critical security controls for the internals of the network while offering additional layers of threat protection. Trustwaves WAF service offers continuous real-time protection and data loss protection for applications, working in conjunction with Trustwaves SIEM technology. WAF events are directed to Trustwave SOCs where experts use SIEM technology to correlate and analyze a series of events. Events are reported and archived, and customers are alerted to events requiring attention. With Trustwave's hybrid-managed SIEM appliance, customers can identify and mitigate security threats more easily.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the MSSP market continues to evolve and grow as a greater number of businesses become more accepting of outsourcing security services. Although the market remains competitive, MSSPs are showing signs of strong growth as they expound upon their portfolio of services. Trustwave has exhibited phenomenal growth in the MSSP market, largely attributed to strong PCI compliance services and the breadth of service offerings for a variety of compliance and security needs beyond PCI. In recognition of Trustwaves impressive growth in the MSSP market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Trustwave with the 2012 North American Growth Leadership Award.
