Organizations often define IT security almost entirely as protection against the most publicized threats of the day. This protection is usually accomplished with an array of siloed security tools. But what happens when a new type of threat comes tomorrow? These tools aren't integrated, so they can’t work together to protect against highly sophisticated and organized attacks. They can even hinder effective operations and impact the business’s ability to drive innovation by creating complexity and redundancy. Frequently, they can't provide appropriate metrics to help managers truly understand the benefits to the business.
