CIO’s cybersecurity budget allocations are too spread out across a myriad of single solutions. Vendors convince CIOs they need the latest product to halt new attacks when in actuality the addition of yet another disparate cybersecurity tool leads to blind spots. Cyber budgets get stretched too thinly across single solutions when they should match the organization’s IT and software spending priorities. In practice, if an enterprise spends the majority of its IT budget on SaaS applications, cloud storage, application development, etc., the majority of its cybersecurity budget should go to protecting these investments.
