Streamlining Cybersecurity: Unifying Platforms for Enhanced Defense

Abstract

Cybersecurity leaders face the challenges of complexity, tool overlap, and blind spots resulting from using multiple cybersecurity vendors and tools. In response, adopting a cybersecurity platform consolidation framework simplifies security operations by streamlining products and improving risk posture. Cybersecurity platform consolidation offers various benefits such as improved efficiency, cost savings, and better integration of security tools. However, concerns exist regarding potential limitations in flexibility and agility, increased dependency on a single vendor, and the complexity of migration processes. This review aims to analyze the advantages and drawbacks of cybersecurity platform consolidation to provide a comprehensive understanding of its implications for organizations. As the adoption of cybersecurity platform consolidation continues to grow, it becomes essential to delve deeper into the implications for organizations. By offering a comprehensive analysis of both the advantages and potential drawbacks of cybersecurity platform consolidation, this review aims to provide valuable insights for organizations considering or undergoing this transformation. This will enable organizations to make informed decisions and develop strategies to maximize the benefits while mitigating the concerns associated with platform consolidation. This paper explores the key findings, benefits, and best practices associated with consolidating security solutions.
