Platformization — The Key to Simplifying Cybersecurity”

Simplify Cybersecurity. Strengthen Business Value.

In today’s complex digital world, organizations manage dozens of disconnected tools and technologies.
The result? Higher costs, slower response times, and greater vulnerability.

A new global study from IBM’s Institute for Business Value and Palo Alto Networks reveals that platformization — consolidating tools into unified, integrated systems — is the key to efficiency, resilience, and growth.

Key Findings

Organizations juggle an average of 83 security solutions from 29 vendors
52% of executives say fragmentation limits their ability to respond to threats
75% of those adopting platformization report stronger integration and better performance
Platformized companies report 4x higher ROI on cybersecurity investments
Mean time to contain incidents is reduced by 84 days
