Forrester Report: Understand The Benefits And Drawbacks of Cybersecurity’s Platform Push
Manufacturing faces unprecedented complexity with converging IT and OT environments, cyber threats, and costly downtime. IDC research shows Splunk delivers an average $18 million in annual benefits per manufacturer, a 480% ROI over three years, and a payback period of just 6.4 months.
Security leaders are feeling financial pressure from CFOs and boards and suffering chronic practitioner skill shortages. Security tech consolidation to platforms has emerged as a potential solution to solve problems like too many vendors, too many technologies, too much complexity, and too few integrations.
Forrester’s recent report helps guide security and risk professionals ready to adventure into tech consolidation.
What’s inside:
- Platform design requirements that security professionals should demand. (Yes; today’s platforms are closer to making “single pane of glass” a reality.)
- The exact gains security leaders should expect from their security platforms, like simplifying automation.
- Evaluation criteria to help avoid common buying mistakes — like expecting that fewer vendors equate to fewer tools.
Security platforms aren’t created equally. Whether you’re simply considering a tool consolidation strategy or are well on your way to vendor selection, this report offers a valuable roadmap and resource.
