FEATURE: TRENDS IN CYBERSECURITY SOLUTIONS
Why today’ s platforms have limitations
One of the biggest limitations in modern cybersecurity is complexity. A decade ago, organisations relied on just a handful of security tools. Today, the average enterprise manages over 30 different cybersecurity vendors and solutions, making it impossible for teams to fully understand, configure, and optimise each one. and limited historical data leaves blind spots,” says Anomali’ s Depret-Bixio.
Despite significant advancements, modern cyber security solutions still face several limitations. One major challenge is the ever-evolving nature of cyber threats, which can outpace the development of defensive measures.
“ Simplification and interoperability are becoming essential to overcome the challenges of an increasingly fragmented security landscape,” says Help AG’ s Kukoljac.
“ Attackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities, making it difficult for security solutions to stay ahead,” says Mohammed AlMoneer, Senior Regional Director, Middle East, Africa and Türkiye, Infoblox
“ This overload leads to underutilised technologies and reduced return on investment. Compounding the issue is a global skills shortage, making it harder to manage such complex environments,” continues Kukoljac.
Many solutions still suffer from fragmented architectures, costly integrations, and limited visibility. Traditional SIEMs and bolt-on tools often throttle performance, restrict data access, or require trade-offs between speed and scale.
“ They were not designed for today’ s AI-driven threat landscape. Reliance on outdated detection models
“ Despite technological advances, many cybersecurity solutions remain overly reliant on perimeter-based defences like firewalls, VPNs and intrusion prevention
WHAT MOST DO NOT APPRECIATE IS THAT
CYBERSECURITY IS A BIG DATA PROBLEM.
