For H&P, Inc., a small-scale organization looking to outsource network security monitoring and incorporate threat intelligence into their network defenses cost-effectively, recruiting a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) would be the most suitable option. MSSPs offer a range of services including network security monitoring, threat intelligence, incident response, and compliance management, often at a lower cost than maintaining an in-house security team. This allows organizations to benefit from expert services and advanced security technologies without the need for significant resource investment.References:
