The False Promises of Single-Vendor Security Portfolios: A Primer

This white paper examines why large enterprise vendors' all-in-one security portfolios often fail to deliver optimal protection despite their appealing packaging.

Key concerns highlighted:

• Single-vendor solutions prioritize profits over security
• Large platforms become less agile and innovative
• "Good enough" SIEM tools create single points of failure
• Hidden costs include poor compatibility and vendor lock-in
• Data breach costs have risen 10% to $4.88 million

The paper advocates for a best-of-breed approach, allowing security teams to select optimal tools for each function, resulting in stronger security and better ROI.
