Managed security solutions are services provided by external vendors that offer security expertise, resources, and tools to help organizations protect their information assets and systems. A primary benefit of managed security solutions is that they allow organizations to focus on their core business operations, while delegating the security tasks to the service provider. This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, as well as reduce the complexity and cost of managing security internally. Managed security solutions can also provide a wider range of capabilities, easier implementation across an organization, and lower cost of operations, but these are not the primary benefits, as they may vary depending on the quality and scope of the service provider. References = CISM Review Manual, 16th Edition, ISACA, 2020, p. 841; CISM Online Review Course, Domain 3: Information Security Program Development and Management, Module 3: Information Security Program Management, ISACA2
