Harnessing Integrated Security Analytics - Blog

Necessity is the mother of invention. To match the demands of a threat landscape that has grown exponentially in the last decade, cybersecurity innovation has moved at a break-neck pace. Like all innovation, it solves an immediate need — but it’s difficult to see the new issues it will cause. Cybersecurity point products that focus on one problem – or even one class of problems – have created major obstacles in security management and operations, in sourcing talent to wield these products and, most importantly, in comprehensive visibility of the attack surface. Lack of communication and integration between various vendors and solution sets have created disconnected environments, making it difficult to pull together the intelligence needed to gauge security status, preemptively strengthen defenses or respond quickly to an emerging threat or ongoing attack. In essence, the use of point solutions is like defending a castle one stone at a time.
