With consolidation,
enhanced data
quality and
automation, the
CISO can confidently
enhance their
company’s cyber-
risk posture.
Not forgetting data quality
domains that carry the highest risk,
one can prioritise the selection and
implementation of security tools.
By taking this risk-based, end-to-end, and
sustainable approach to implementing
security processes (and their related
tools), we can begin to permanently solve
areas of security that have historically
remained regardless of the number
of tools and money we have thrown
at it. Armed with this newly available
knowledge, we now have the opportunity
to solve some of the longstanding areas
of security permanently.

CISOs have also
learned the hard
way that despite
what many security
solutions state, there
is no silver bullet
solution to security.
The problem of too many tools has
steadily crept up over time. Throughout
this, CISOs have also learned the hard
way that despite what many security
solutions state, there is no silver bullet
solution to security. We always need
multiple security solutions to cover the
needed security controls to achieve
adequate security, but not to the degree
we have today. While CISOs should look
to consolidate security solutions where
practical, they must not forget that there
is also an opportunity to derive better
value out of their current solutions. To
cut through the noise and data coming
from tools, specifically those that identify
vulnerabilities and control failures,
a great place to start increasing the
confidence that data coming out them is
complete and accurate.
By also focusing on the enrichment of
the data, CISOs can drive remediation
more efficiently and know what to fix
first to get the greatest ROI on their
security investments. It also gives rise to
getting access to automated analytics
and reducing the need to work through
multiple reporting processes for different
tools manually. With consolidation,
enhanced data quality and automation,
the CISO can confidently enhance their
company’s cyber-risk posture. u
