According to new research from ESG and the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), 58% of organizations are consolidating or considering consolidating the number of security vendors they do business with.
Security technology consolidation is bigger than simply winnowing down vendor count. Organizations are shifting from traditional best-of-breed security technologies to tightly integrated security technology platforms. The research illustrates this point: While 24% of respondents say their organization tends to continue to purchase best-of-breed security technologies, 38% say they purchase integrated security technology platforms, while 15% are transitioning purchases from best-of-breed products to security technology platforms (note: the remainder responded “don’t know”).
