Many of these are point solutions operating in isolation and do not share or correlate threat intelligence or participate in coordinated threat responses with other solutions in the same segment of the network, let alone across disparate environments.
Networks stuffed with isolated security devices that struggle to just keep up with application performance requirements and dynamic networks will absolutely freeze when faced with things like distributed clouds, extreme edge computing, and smart environments.
To address these issues impacting visibility, consistency, control, and response, many organizations have undertaken consolidation efforts to reduce the number of vendors and solutions deployed in their networks.
Built around tested and validated solutions - One of the other challenges in selecting a platform is that not every solution bundled together in that solution is world class.
Often, each solution still requires its own management and configuration interface.
In each of these solutions work best when coordination between deployed security devices and platforms and the SOAR/SIEM/XDR solution is built into the system.
