The increasing adoption of public cloud platforms prompts companies to shift their security toolsets. While the best-of-breed model involves using multiple third-party security solutions, it creates gaps and inefficiencies. Alternatively, the native-first cloud security approach, utilizing integrated first-party solutions, offers greater cost efficiency and improved security resilience, reducing attack surface, eliminating blind spots, and driving team efficiencies.
Based on the meeting notes, there are three key takeaways:
1. Implementing a native-first cloud security approach over a best-of-breed model can reduce an organization’s attack surface, by minimizing the risk of introducing additional weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
2. A native-first cloud security model eliminates the blind spots often seen with best-of-breed solutions, offering greater visibility and coordination within the security landscape.
3. By prioritizing a native-first approach, organizations can drive greater team efficiencies, as security teams will only need to understand their CSP’s services, cutting down on complexity and resource-intensiveness.
If you need any further analysis or specific action items from these takeaways, please do not hesitate to ask.
