Managed security providers are under pressure to do more than monitor alerts—they’re expected to secure hybrid environments, tame cloud sprawl, and protect identity systems without slowing innovation. This week, Vandis, Inc. earned recognition for that effort, landing on the 2026 MSP 500 list in the Security 100 category from CRN, a property of The Channel Company.

The annual MSP 500 list spotlights North America’s leading managed service providers, with the Security 100 category specifically honoring companies delivering advanced cybersecurity services.

For Vandis, the recognition underscores its growing footprint in managed security services—particularly across complex networking, cloud, and identity ecosystems.

What the Recognition Signals

CRN’s MSP 500 is widely viewed in the channel as a barometer of innovation and operational excellence among MSPs. The Security 100 subset focuses on providers that are helping customers navigate escalating cyber threats, regulatory scrutiny, and digital transformation demands.

Vandis’ managed services portfolio centers on proactive security models tailored to each client’s infrastructure. The company emphasizes scalable protection for hybrid IT environments, freeing internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day threat management.

In an era where ransomware, identity-based attacks, and cloud misconfigurations dominate headlines, MSPs increasingly function as outsourced security operations centers for midmarket and enterprise customers alike.

Security Services in a Shifting Threat Landscape

The recognition arrives as the managed security services market continues to expand. Organizations are grappling with:

• Rapid cloud adoption

• Increasingly distributed workforces

• Growing identity and access management complexity

• More sophisticated threat actors

MSPs that can integrate networking, cloud security, and identity governance into a unified service model are seeing heightened demand.

Vandis positions its managed offerings as both defensive and optimization-focused—protecting environments while improving operational efficiency. That balance is increasingly critical, as security budgets face scrutiny even while threat volumes climb.

Channel Impact and Market Context

For solution providers, placement on the MSP 500 list is more than symbolic. It enhances visibility among channel partners and enterprise buyers seeking vetted providers.

CRN’s editorial leadership frames the 2026 list as recognizing MSPs that help organizations maximize IT investments while maintaining agility. That’s a subtle but important shift: security services are no longer viewed solely as risk mitigation but as business enablers.

As digital transformation accelerates, MSPs capable of delivering scalable, proactive security are becoming foundational to enterprise growth strategies.

For Vandis, inclusion in the Security 100 category reinforces its standing in a competitive managed security market—one where differentiation increasingly depends on depth of expertise across networking, cloud, and identity domains.
