Panel: Modernizing Security Architecture: Platforms or Best-of-Breed, What Works?
summary
Panelists report enterprises run ~40–50 security products while major vendors bundle 85–90 modular capabilities into platforms; teams split use by use case—offensive vs defensive—because niche tools still beat platforms for red teaming. Gaps: AI model poisoning defenses and SOC alert prioritization. Concrete builds: an in‑house GenAI DLP that cuts false positives to zero and an endpoint bot that cataloged browser extensions across 85,000 machines to block risky plugins. Recommendation: automate monotony, keep best‑of‑breed for critical controls.
