Lack of integration undermines IT security
Philip Hunter · Network Security · 2003
The IT security industry stands accused of focusing too much on “best of breed” point products at the expense of proper integration, and as a result exposing organizations to unnecessary costs and threats. The Royal Mail recently vented its disquiet in public when its group head of security, David Lacey, complained of the effort needed to make any new product or solution work properly within the existing security structure. “I’m not interested in best of breed, only in how things fit together,” Lacey bemoaned.
