As organizations rush to cover gaps in an expanding attack surface, thanks to digital transformation and remote work, they are realizing that this strategy is creating an uncontrolled technology sprawl. Yet many organizations continue purchasing more tools than they can manage, actually increasing their overall risk while wasting limited program budget. How is your technology investment strategy helping you meet your security outcomes?

In this discussion, you will learn:

  • The state of “tools sprawl” and data showing its impact on security organizations
  • Insights and best practices to reduce complexity and increase tool efficacies
  • Maturing your security posture to drive desired outcomes

  • Establish business-driven methods for ongoing risk management analysis
  • Partner across the C-Suite to establish organizational buy-in
  • Strategies to employ an iterative approach to ongoing relationship management
