Tools or Solutions: What Are You Really Looking For?

Image
As part of Solutions Review’s Premium Content Series—a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories— Lalit Ahluwalia of Inspira Enterprise confronts tools fatigue, stating the answer is “find a cybersecurity solution, not more tools.” Organizations have gotten into the habit of buying a multitude of security tools to manage their cyber threats and risks. And when it comes to selecting security tools or solutions, organizations today have a smorgasbord of choices. There are a ton of tools available, but what’s happening is that organizations are just buying more products to throw at the problem without the intrinsic expertise to make those tools part of the solution.

As part of Solutions Review’s Premium Content Series—a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories— Max Henderson of Pondurance breaks down the key steps every SOC team should follow when building an incident response plan. Sad but true: Thousands of organizations across just about every industry suffer data breaches every year. The 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report analyzed 23,896 incidents equaling 5,212 confirmed data breaches, which means that the odds of not being breached are pretty slim. But hey– knowledge is power, so embracing the knowledge that you’re likely to be breached and being prepared for it inevitably puts the odds in your favor of a smooth recovery.

As part of Solutions Review’s Premium Content Series—a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories— Maziar Adl, the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Gocious , explains how companies can strengthen their ERP systems from continuity disruptions. Downturns and disasters are inevitable for any business, even complex business and manufacturing operations using data-driven technology tools to optimize efficiency. But the difference between survival and closure can come from preparedness and planning. When a disruption happens, downtime costs businesses a staggering $163,674 per hour, according to research by Datto and the Aberdeen Group. This estimated cost also varies depending on the business’s size and the operations’ scale.   Despite this very real cost—and recent global events like the COVID pandemic still at the top of mind—many leaders don’t have detailed continuity plans in place.
