Many companies have added security solutions like ‘This is threat intelligence, that is cloud workload protection’.

According to a study by IBM Institute for Business Value, companies are using an average of 83 security solutions from 29 different vendors simultaneously. More than half of the respondents (52%) said complexity is the greatest obstacle to security operations.

This leads to unnecessary complexity and risk. There are many tools, but they are not interconnected, operations are complicated, and budgets increase. The more tools there are, the greater the threat. Each tool can serve as a potential entry point for attackers.

Gartner refers to this situation as ‘technology overload’ and emphasizes that it should now be organized with interoperability and data-driven structures among security systems, like a ‘Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA)’.

The IBM study also found that organizations with an integrated platform took an average of 72 days to detect a security incident and an average of 84 days to contain it. Integrating multiple tools into a single platform not only enhances security posture but also reduces costs and improves operational efficiency.
