Security tool sprawl is the use of too many one-off specialized solutions for both virtualized and point solutions. Forrester: 55% of respondents report having 20 or more tools between security and operations, and 70% say these tools lack full integration. This creates high costs, inefficiencies, cumbersome workflows, and potential weak spots if security solutions aren’t deployed and managed strategically. A common side effect of security tool sprawling is exposure to vulnerabilities and backdoors to serious threats. IT decision-makers within organizations of all sizes should focus on putting measures into place.”]
