Tool sprawl is a problem that just won't go away for security teams
Cybersecurity practitioners are growing increasingly overwhelmed managing tools from multiple vendors, according to new research from Kaspersky.
A recent study from the security firm found nearly three-quarters (74%) of companies in the UK rely on 'multi-vendor ecosystems' - a trend which is putting them at increased risk and burning out staff.
Indeed, over one-third (36%) of UK cyber workers said their security stacks are 'overly complex and time-consuming' to maintain, which in turn is hampering their ability to respond to emerging threats.
