Most organizations have a complex security infrastructure that consists of multiple products from multiple vendors to create layers of defense, including firewalls, IPS/IDS, routers, web and email security, and endpoint detection and response solutions.

In the past couple of years, we've seen a movement towards Security Orchestration, Automation and Response platforms and tools.

Regardless of the type of platform, integration is key to bringing security teams, processes and technology together within the construct of a single security architecture to drive efficiency and effectiveness, eliminating repetitive tasks so that analysts are free to focus on higher priority activities.

A single security architecture requires bi-directional integration.

More recently, we're seeing the emergence of XDR solutions that ESG defines as, "An integrated suite of security products spanning hybrid IT architectures, designed to interoperate and coordinate on threat prevention, detection, and response. XDR unifies control points, security telemetry, analytics, and operations into one enterprise system." There are even more challenges here because no organization is starting with a clean slate; there is existing infrastructure and the appetite to rip and replace is low.
