As cybersecurity’s visibility has risen in organizations, so has the number of cybersecurity vendors and tools that teams need to integrate, implement and govern. Cybersecurity professionals must spend time getting tools to work together as a cohesive portfolio, which detracts from their efforts to identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats.
