Security platformization vs. best-of-breed: Risks and benefits | TechTarget
The unified platform versus best-of-breed tools debate continues as security teams struggle with integration challenges, alert fatigue and limited resources. Does buying software from individual vendors still make sense, or does that approach only further complicate today's distributed networks? The pressure is prompting a fresh look at unified security platforms as a way to reduce complexity and costs, improve visibility and regain control.
