Everest Group Cybersecurity Services for Mid-market Enterprises PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025

The increasing reliance on digital technologies among mid-market enterprises has driven a strong demand for scalable and cost-effective cybersecurity services. With the growing adoption of cloud platforms, SaaS applications, IoT devices, and hybrid work models, mid-market firms face an expanded attack surface that exposes them to threats such as ransomware, insider attacks, and regulatory non-compliance. Mid-market enterprises prioritize providers that balance cost efficiency with resilient security outcomes, favor regional proximity and delivery presence for accessible support, and seek modular, consumption-based models that avoid long-term lock-ins while also evaluating providers’ ability to embed zero trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) practices, deliver automation-driven Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities for faster response, and leverage accelerators, frameworks, and partnerships to address skills gaps and regulatory needs.
