Security News > 2021 > June > At Odds: The Promise vs. Operational Reality of Security Solutions
There's a gap between the promise of a security technology and operational reality.
A similar phenomenon has been happening in the security industry for years - there is great promise in a new product or technology; however, the operational reality is much different.
Clearly, there's a gap between the promise of a security technology and operational reality.
The result? Amplified noise that plagues security operations, wasting precious resources and hampering security.
The latest market discussion gaining traction is XDR. ESG defines XDR 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." Organizations are attracted to the approach because one of the promises of XDR is vendor consolidation.
How can we bridge the gap between promise and operational reality? As you determine what security technologies to invest in, develop not only a technology roadmap, but also include and align an operational roadmap.
