A total 75% of organizations across North America, Asia Pacific and EMEA plan to consolidate the number of security vendors they use, a Gartner survey of 418 respondents found. That percentage has increased significantly, as only 29% were looking to consolidate vendors in 2020. The main reasons are an increase in dissatisfaction with operational inefficiencies and lack of integration of a heterogenous security stack, the survey found.
Companies look to reduce the number of vendors they work with in key areas like secure access service edge (SASE) and extended detection and response (XDR). The survey found that 57% of organizations are working with fewer than ten vendors for their security needs.
