True Cybersecurity

While many security products today call themselves security platforms, they often lack the components that transform security tools into true platforms. These include their integrative nature, development with simplicity and efficiency in mind, and their customizability. Choosing a true cybersecurity platform is particularly important to mid-market organizations with limited resources and budgetary constraints. A comprehensive, integrated application that combines multiple security solutions and answers a wide range of security needs while reducing IT workloads and maintaining simplicity is the only way SMBs can achieve a strong security posture. 

The Makings of a Security Platform

Security tools built as a true platform are characterized by:

1. Consolidated Security Functions

An integrated platform consolidates security functions such as threat detection, incident response, and network monitoring. It offers a unified solution for all business environments, from endpoints to the cloud to email. Centralized visibility and control make it easier for lean IT teams to manage tickets effectively and efficiently.

2. Unified Approach

A security platform offers a comprehensive view of the business’s security environment. This ensures better threat detection, improved threat analysis, and quicker response times.

3. Simplicity

A true cybersecurity platform is designed with simplicity in mind. It uses automation and smart AI to automate workflows, reducing the administrative burden on IT and the need for human intervention. The centralized management of a platform solution streamlines operations and aggregates all alerts into a single dashboard for added simplicity.

4. Customizability

A true cybersecurity platform allows SMBs to configure and scale their security solutions according to their evolving needs. It also makes adding and removing features easy and hassle-free by building its security components to work as standalone and in seamless synchrony with each other. 

5. Scalability

A platform solution is designed to scale seamlessly, allowing businesses to expand their security coverage as they grow without overhauling their entire security infrastructure.

6. Automation and Advanced AI

A platform solution uses automation and AI capabilities to automate ticket management and resolve the bulk of security tickets without human intervention. This dramatically reduces IT workloads. A platform also uses AI to prioritize tickets, removing the administrative load of ticket assessment from IT teams. When automation is used in a platform solution, IT teams are left to focus only on the tickets that require manual intervention. The reduced workload enables swift and effective resolution of security threats.  

7. Cost Efficiency

A unified security platform is cheaper to maintain than multiple stand-alone tools. Platforms built with SMBs in mind are particularly sensitive to SMBs’ budgetary constraints and may offer a modular component that allows users to scale in increments. This adaptability ensures that SMBs are not overpaying for tools they don’t need while still maintaining the flexibility to add new capabilities as their needs change

The Benefits of a Centralized Cybersecurity Platform
