SHELT joins elite MSSP 250 as managed security demand surges globally

SHELT, a cybersecurity-as-a-service provider, has been named to the 2025 MSSP 250, an annual ranking of the world’s top 250 Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), as global demand for outsourced cybersecurity continues to rise amid an increasingly complex threat landscape.

The prestigious list is published by MSSP Alert, a resource of CyberRisk Alliance, and ranks MSSPs based on business performance, service breadth and overall industry impact. Companies are assessed using metrics such as annual recurring revenue, profitability, workforce size, growth trajectory and the depth of managed security services offered.

SHELT’s inclusion in the 2025 ranking reflects its sustained investment in scalable security operations, threat intelligence and client-focused managed services across multiple regions. As organisations worldwide grapple with rising cyberattacks, regulatory pressure and skills shortages, demand for managed security services has accelerated, positioning MSSPs as critical partners for risk management and cyber resilience.

“Being recognised in the MSSP 250 is a meaningful milestone for our team. It validates our focus on building practical, resilient security services that help organisations manage risk and respond effectively to today’s evolving cyber threats,” said Youssef Abillama, chief executive officer of SHELT.

The MSSP 250 recognises cybersecurity firms that demonstrate strong operational excellence and the ability to deliver advanced, round-the-clock security services in an environment marked by ransomware, data breaches and increasingly sophisticated threat actors. For many enterprises, managed security services have become essential as in-house capabilities struggle to keep pace with the scale and complexity of modern cyber risks.

SHELT said the recognition underscores the dedication and expertise of its teams across all markets, as well as the company’s commitment to delivering trusted, business-aligned cybersecurity services. The firm provides managed security, threat intelligence and risk management solutions to organisations across multiple sectors, focusing on scalable offerings that align with regulatory requirements and evolving business needs.

Looking ahead, SHELT said it remains focused on strengthening its capabilities and expanding its managed security services to support clients navigating a rapidly changing global cyber environment.
