Organizations around the globe are facing a pivotal moment in security—one that requires urgent action.

Digital connectivity expands attack surfaces and creates new vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and harder to defend against. And AI is being used by both defenders and attackers, creating a race in cybersecurity capabilities.

Cybersecurity tools and solutions abound, most promising some sort of sea change. In reality though, many deliver only a ripple or, at best, a passing wave. Why? Complexity is getting in the way of results.

Key takeaways:

• Security fragmentation is now the unhappy norm.
• Security platforms bring faster response times and higher ROI.
• Platformization moves the security function from “necessary cost” to value generator.
