Shiny Object Syndrome: Insuring Your Security Puzzle is Complete
summary
Security stacks bloat with 5,000 vendors and 10,000 solutions that often overlap, sit unconfigured, or remain unused; common culprits named are endpoint protection, SIEM and next‑gen firewalls but cloud providers also ship overlapping security tools. The cure is a business-aligned security vision, prioritize buys by measured risk reduction per dollar, consolidate integrated tooling, ensure the CSO reports into risk/finance, and automate level‑1/2 ops with maturing AI/ML to free staff for high‑value work.
