Cybersecurity leaders are overwhelmed by an ever-expanding toolset — with the average organization juggling 76 security solutions across 130 products, yet only using a fraction of their capabilities. The result? Wasted budget, fragmented visibility and unnecessary complexity.
This whitepaper outlines a practical roadmap for rationalizing your security ecosystem, moving beyond vendor count reduction to building a leaner, more effective stack that delivers measurable value.
Inside you’ll learn how to:
- Conduct comprehensive security assessments that identify redundancies, coverage gaps and integration opportunities to establish a baseline for strategic consolidation.
- Extract maximum return from existing investments by optimizing configurations, integrating disparate tools and improving team training before adding new solutions.
- Strategically consolidate redundant or ineffective tools through a methodical approach that addresses both technical and organizational barriers.
- Design a future-state security architecture that emphasizes integration, automation and operational efficiency while maintaining comprehensive security coverage.
- Implement governance processes that prevent the re-emergence of tool sprawl and maintain consolidation gains over time.
Security effectiveness comes from integration, not accumulation.
