Buying More Tools Doesn’t Equal Better Protection
Companies accumulate tools hoping to close every gap. Overlapping functions create blind spots due to integration gaps. Tools alone don’t stop breaches — alignment does.
Security Suites Miss Cross-Platform Threats
Endpoint tools may protect Windows but fail on macOS or Linux. Web proxies block HTTP but ignore DNS tunneling. Attackers exploit where tool coverage ends.
Integration Is Rarely Deep or Real-Time
Vendors claim interoperability, but APIs are limited or slow. Alert sharing happens hours late or with missing context. SIEMs become bottlenecks, not force multipliers.
Free, private email that puts your privacy first
Proton Mail’s free plan keeps your inbox private and secure—no ads, no data mining. Built by privacy experts, it gives you real protection with no strings attached.
Alert Volumes Overwhelm Teams and Hide Signals
More tools mean more alerts — not more clarity. Analysts spend time triaging noise instead of responding. Important events are buried in non-critical noise.
Overlapping Agents Cause System Instability
Multiple EDR, AV, and DLP agents compete for the same hooks. Systems slow down, crash, or fail silently. Users disable protections out of frustration.
License Fatigue Leads to Unused Capabilities
Teams pay for features they don’t deploy or maintain. Overhead grows, but coverage doesn’t. Budget drains on shelfware instead of active defenses.
