The cybersecurity administrator has a reduced team and needs to operate an on-premises network and security infrastructure efficiently. To help with this situation, the administrator decides to hire a service provider. The question asks which of the following options should the administrator use.

A. SDP (Software-Defined Perimeter): SDP is a security model that creates a secure network connection between two endpoints. It is designed to reduce the risk of network-based attacks by providing a secure connection between the user and the application or service. However, SDP is not a service provider, but rather a security model.

B. AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting): AAA is a framework used for authentication, authorization, and accounting of users and resources. It is not a service provider.

C. IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service): IaaS is a cloud computing model where a third-party provider hosts virtualized computing resources over the internet. It is not necessarily a security service, but rather a model of cloud computing.

D. MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider): An MSSP is a service provider that manages and monitors security devices and systems for an organization. An MSSP can provide various security services such as firewall management, intrusion detection and prevention, and vulnerability scanning.

E. Microservices: Microservices are a software development technique that structures an application as a collection of small, independent services. Microservices are not a security service.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is D. MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider). An MSSP can provide the necessary security services to help the cybersecurity administrator operate an on-premises network and security infrastructure efficiently, such as firewall management, intrusion detection and prevention, and vulnerability scanning.
