Srihari Kotni of Jio Finance, Ketan Vyas of TCS, Satyavathi Divadari of Freshworks, Prajal Kulkarni of Groww and Rahul Neel Mani of ISMG debate platform consolidation vs. specialized tools for optimal security.

As cybersecurity ecosystems grow in complexity, CISOs face a crucial decision: embrace best-of-breed tools tailored for specific threats or simplify operations through integrated platforms. With organizations managing upward of 40 to 50 products, vendor consolidation offers potential efficiencies, but not without trade-offs.

In this insightful session, security leaders across industries discuss:

  • Key differences between offensive and defensive cybersecurity needs;
  • Cost, capability and maturity factors when evaluating platforms vs. point solutions;
  • Strategic insights on leveraging internal assessments, red teaming and external threat intel;
  • Emerging hybrid models that prioritize best-in-class solutions for critical controls, while utilizing platform-based tools for broader, peripheral needs.
