Organizations often mistakenly believe that deploying various cybersecurity tools adequately protects them. This mindset neglects broader attack surface issues and increases third-party risks.
Cybersecurity tools are essential but limited, being designed for specific threats while leaving organizations possibly vulnerable due to their isolated operation and dependence on signature detection.
A recent Gartner survey indicated that 75 percent of organizations are consolidating vendors to decrease complexity. However, adopting more tools can unintentionally expand attack surfaces.
Adding ‘just one more cybersecurity tool’ can create an illusion of security without genuinely enhancing protection, as it may overlook critical vulnerabilities central to the organization’s defense.
