Cybersecurity leaders are grappling with the complexity, overlap and blind spots that come from using multiple cybersecurity vendors and tools. Consolidating cybersecurity products reduces this complexity by streamlining the number of products and their interactions, thus improving efficiency of security outcomes.
Organizations consolidate security solutions for reasons such as lower total cost of ownership, improved security posture, and ease of procurement. Consolidation involves eliminating best-of-breed functionality without significant drops in efficacy.
Cybersecurity leaders must consolidate to simplify, focusing on achieving secure access and improved detection across various technologies. Budget growth for cybersecurity, not reduction, is often expected in such consolidation exercises.
Cybersecurity leaders should assess current products based on functionality, contract terms, spending, and maintenance effort. Identifying important aspects and capabilities within the organization is crucial, along with exploring alternative offerings.
