Let’s talk about cybersecurity’s silo problem. First, industry divides are weighing on practitioners. According to ISSA, 77% of infosec pros want to see more industry cooperation, not least because of solution overwhelm. In fact, in enterprises with 5,000+ employees, teams are managing an average of 76 different security tools—an increase from 64 in 2019 (Panaseer). 

And second, in addition to contending with the silos caused by vendor sprawl, practitioners are hurting from a lack of collaboration with their peers. A recent study by Panaseer revealed that “43% of security professionals have little-to-no understanding of the . . . metrics, policies, and risk appetite used by peers, even though 99% of them believe that this information would be valuable.”
