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.

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
