This designation recognizes that Mission has successfully met AWS’s stringent requirements for delivering turnkey security outcomes as a fully managed service, with foundational capabilities in providing 24/7 threat detection. Mission has held the Managed Security Service Provider Competency since 2021 and has been recognized as the AWS Security Partner of the Year for the past two consecutive years, further validating its expertise in cloud security solutions.
“Maintaining the AWS Managed Security Service Provider Competency reinforces Mission’s commitment to helping customers enhance their security posture while building and scaling on AWS,” said Ted Stuart, President and COO at Mission. “Our team remains focused on delivering consistent, reliable cloud and AI solutions that support compliance initiatives and align with AWS best practices.”
Mission provides managed service packages to help organizations optimize, support, operate, and secure their AWS environments. Its offerings range from cost management, cloud governance, and on-demand DevOps to enterprise support and technical account management. They include continuous monitoring, alert response, and adherence to AWS best practices. Mission’s security capabilities are further enhanced through its partnership with CrowdStrike, delivering Mission Cloud Secure—a fully-managed Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) solution that provides 24/7 protection to stop cloud breaches.
In addition to managed cloud services, Mission also delivers professional services to support companies’ broader AWS cloud initiatives, including cloud migration, application modernization, innovation with generative AI, and strategic adoption of emerging AWS technologies.
