FINAL WORD
By embracing a consolidated architecture that enhances security co-ordination and effectiveness , organizations improve security and save budget .
“ Ensuring your cybersecurity defenses are fit for purpose has never been more important .” their security products with multiple consoles – creating visibility blind-spots .
There has been a shift in focus in recent years . A Gartner study shows 75 % of organizations were pursuing security vendor consolidation in 2022 – up from 29 %
In 2020 , 65 % of those surveyed said this was to improve their overall risk posture . By embracing a consolidated architecture that enhances security coordination and effectiveness , organizations improve security and save budget by reducing operational overhead to integrate multiple , siloed solutions .

The three Cs of best security – What are they , and why are they important ?
Our prevention-first approach is brought to life through our three Cs of best security , but what are they and why should they be central to your organization ’ s cybersecurity strategy moving forward ?
Comprehensive – The complexity of attack vectors is constantly evolving . Ensuring your organization is protected across everything from email and IoT devices to cloud networks and endpoints should be a priority . If one vector remains open , it could lead to a serious breach of critical infrastructure , akin to the Colonial Pipeline attack . A comprehensive solution that covers all vectors is imperative to prevent an incident occurring in the first place .
Consolidated – The latest generation of sophisticated cyberattacks spread quickly across all vectors and frequently bypass conventional defenses . To combat these attacks , businesses deploy multiple point solutions , many of which duplicate efforts and create siloed lines of communication . A study conducted by Dimensional Research and Check Point found that 49 % of all organizations use between 6 and 40-point security products while 98 % of organizations manage
Collaborative – Implementing a strategy with collaboration at its core could be the difference between success and failure . When an attack hits an endpoint for example , all other security technologies across cloud , network and email must act and respond accordingly to prevent the attack from entering through their respective vendor . To achieve that , the consolidated and comprehensive architecture must make sure every security engine is applied to any attack vector . On top of that , real-time threat intelligence information gathered from all enforcement points , research teams and third-party feeds , must be shared across the environment so action can be taken immediately to prevent the attack . Our API-based solutions can be integrated with third-party systems to deliver the most accurate real-time data .
“ The need for cyber-resilience has never been greater . We are reaffirming how a prevention-first model fits within an organization ’ s wider business strategy through the three Cs of best security ,” said Hollenbeck .
“ These fundamentals are designed to focus the mind on what is important when building a cybersecurity strategy , ensuring that the choices you make deliver the results you deserve . Building cyber-resilience means considering the three Cs of best security .” p
