Influential market drivers of the Latin American MSS markets include the high number of network security regulations that companies are obligated to comply with, the excellent cost benefits of outsourcing network security, the increasing complexity of business networks, and the frequency and sophistication of network attacks. The market demand that was not met in 2009, due to the economic crisis, acted as a growth driver for the region in 2010. The market is composed of international and local IT service providers, telcos, pure MSS participants, and integrators.
