Consolidating Your Cybersecurity Platforms

Recent investments in cloud have come with a cost — increased attack surfaces that make agency networks more vulnerable to cyberthreats.

So how can agencies reduce their network vulnerabilities while still taking advantage of the benefits cloud offers?

One solution is cybersecurity consolidation, which combines traditionally separate tools, such as intrusion prevention, anti-malware, or DNS security, into a single platform that provides all those protections together.

The benefits of consolidation include:

• Eliminating security gaps.
• Seamless data-sharing across the platform (eliminating silos).
• Reducing the number of manual tasks for security operation centers (SOCs), allowing analysts to focus on higher-priority tasks.
• Much faster identification and responses to cyberthreats, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI).
