Analyst View
DXC Technology was positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for MSSPs, as a Leader in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix for IT Security Services, and as a Leader in the NelsonHall NEAT vendor evaluation for Managed Security Services, April 2017. According to the NEAT report, “DXC Technology has invested heavily in cybersecurity, e.g. its new security portal that collects information from all of its services and is designed to make security analysis easier and speed up threat resolution. DXC Technology’s scale in cybersecurity, demonstrated by its strong network of SOCs and a large number of FTEs, can support the majority of large scale deployments. This scale has improved with the integration of CSC and HPE ES’ security capabilities.”
DXC is named as a Challenger in the latest Gartner MQ. Gartner analyst Toby Bussa said DCX differs from other MSSPs in that it offers a range of managed services around identity and access management, such as Identity Management as a Service and Privileged Account Management. It also gained kudos for its large partner network for security technologies. However, integration between HPE’s Enterprise Services business and that of CSC remains a work in progress. As a result, DXC supports two separate portals for its MSS customers.
