Actually untrue statement, most Fortune 500 do feel warranted in checking
out the MSP space, since in some upper managers mind" Ah, I can save half a
million dollars a year and dump all the security stuff on some reputable
MSP".. If one can save a half a million dollars year in headcount, the
manager will be rewarded, if it backfires, the Fortune 500 sues the pants
off the MSP and still saves face.. So MSP's are a double-edged sword.

maybe it is a mute point because most non-Fortune 500 placs I
know of don't want to or don't feel it is warranted to spend the
cash on a local security guy OR a MSP. it depends on the
context. some smaller places may have a security guy of their own
who could rival the service these large MSP's provide. as you
said they look for patterns etc. they can't/aren't motivated to
spend the same time or intensity a local person may be able to
give (IF QUALIFIED). a bad MSP is no better than a bad local
guy. a MSP shouldn't be the sum total of one's security policy.
