Deploy Integrated, Best-of-Breed Solutions Defense in depth is a long-established security industry best practice. Unfortunately, until now, defense in depth has required organizations to deploy standalone (or point) security products that don't integrate easily with other security solutions in the environment. With the "new best-of-breed" architecture, organizations can deploy integrated portfolio-based solutions that reduce com- plexity in their security environment and improve their overall security posture. Embed Security throughout Your Network Environment Security must be inherent and pervasive throughout the orga- nization's entire computing environment, including across the network, throughout the data center, on endpoints and mobile devices, and in the cloud. Reduce Complexity in Your Security Environment Security technologies should be simple to deploy and use. Com- plexity introduces risk due to the possibility of misconfigurations and errors, and can potentially bury important indicators of com- promise (IoC) and other data points in cumbersome and verbose logs. Don't hesitate to lean on third-party security services and leverage their breadth of experience, in order to complement your own in-depth knowledge and understanding of your orga- nization's environment and threat posture, to pull together an integrated security plan and eliminate unnecessary complexity.
