Institute for Business Value( IBV) and Palo Alto Networks found that surveyed organisations are facing security complexity challenges as they juggle an average of 83 different security solutions from 29 vendors.

It also shows seven out of 10 surveyed companies with a high degree of security platformisation report their cybersecurity investments have helped business outcomes such as operational efficiencies and revenue generation.

In the study, Capturing the cybersecurity dividend: How security platforms generate business value, more than half( 52 %) of surveyed executives note fragmentation of security solutions is limiting their ability to deal with cyberthreats, but 75 % of organisations that have embraced security platformisation agree that better integration across security, hybrid cloud, AI and other technology platforms is crucial.

The analysis suggests the trend of adding more solutions to combat evolving security threats is contributing to inefficiency – impacting both performance and the bottom line – while moving to a platformised security approach can help businesses achieve reduced response times and costs without sacrificing security efficacy.
