The rush to innovate has resulted in more sophisticated threat defenses, but it has also created a complex web of tools that must be managed by an already overworked and understaffed security team.

In this session, attendees will learn how:

  • Data-first approaches to security architectures illuminates natural consolidation points
  • Cross-collaboration within the IT organization improves security posture and reduce tool sprawl
  • Leveraging other parts of the organization improves security posture through smarter processes and practices
