The complications of a
complex security ecosystem

Today’s security teams manage an average of 76 tools, up from an average of 64 in 2019.^* Using many security tools from multiple vendors increases complexity, leaves gaps in protection, and grows expense. Plus, security teams are often so overwhelmed with alerts that they have no option but to leave many alerts unattended. These teams are skilled, experienced, and highly valued, but many are stretched thin and prone to burnout.
