Today, the rapidly evolving cybersecurity threat landscape has driven an explosion of security products, generating an ever-increasing mountain of potentially valuable data and insights. But with that comes the increased complexity needed to make sense of it all and extract the real value. According to the industry analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group organizations use on average 25 to 49 different security tools from up to 10 vendors, each of which generates large amounts of siloed data. Today, integrating security products into an established operational environment can be extremely resource intensive, time-consuming, and costly, all at the expense of hours that could be better spent hunting and responding to threats.
For too long, many cybersecurity vendors have made life harder for customers by assuring their “secret sauce” was theirs and theirs alone. Organizations were not able to get the full value from the tools they purchased because of the lack of interoperability, the expense of integration and the potentially valuable data locked away from sight in proprietary silos. This situation provides us with a real opportunity, and we intend to take advantage of it.
We have seen this play out before. Prior to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, tools were mostly handcrafted and not precise or consistent enough to support manufacturing needs. It was widespread standardization that changed the landscape and led to the Industrial Revolution. Interchangeable parts allowed for the easy assembly of new and innovative products, cheap repairs and fewer skills and time required of workers. Best of all, it led to dramatically reduced costs across the board, for producers and consumers.
We need to foster a similar revolution in cybersecurity today.
