ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TekStream, a cybersecurity and IT solutions leader, today announces it has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services.
TekStream’s MDR services leverage best-of-breed technologies along with its experienced team of security analysts and a highly refined operations process to address today’s ever-evolving security landscape. The company’s shared Security Operations Center (SOC), one of the nation’s largest Joint Special Operations Centers (JSOC), enables customers to mitigate the impact of nefarious actors more effectively, ensuring a more resilient digital infrastructure with a united front.
“We’re incredibly proud to make our inaugural appearance as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services. ‘Gartner estimates that there are more than 500 vendors that offer co-managed security monitoring services.’ We believe this acknowledgment is a true honor,” said Rob Jansen, CEO of TekStream. “The mention comes on the heels of other industry accolades, with TekStream’s MDR services winning three cyber excellence awards recognizing our team’s hard work and commitment to working with our customers to improve their security maturity swiftly and economically, without compromise.”
The report stated, “Threat detection, investigation and response-capable products are challenging to deploy, maintain and operate. Co-managed security monitoring services aid cybersecurity leaders in the operation, configuration and maintenance of these products with lower SOC staffing overhead.”
Focused on collaboration, shared intelligence and workforce development, TekStream’s unique Whole-of-State approach addresses public sector cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Built on TekStream’s Splunk-powered MDR services, this model combines workforce development with a cost-deferment strategy that empowers organizations to maintain long-term ownership of their programs.
Piloted in partnership with Louisiana State University (LSU), Splunk and AWS, the framework was developed in response to the growing cybersecurity workforce crisis and the need to provide the public sector with a better pathway to enhanced cyber protection amid increasing cyberattacks. Since resources are shared under a multi-tenant SOC built on Splunk SIEM/SOAR and powered by AWS digital infrastructure on a distributed network, public and private organizations can offset the cost of establishing a best-in-class SOC while benefiting from shared threat intelligence. Expenses are further reduced as TekStream’s involvement lessens with increased employee or student proficiency.
