Security Delivery Platform: Best practices

The traditional Security model was one that operated under simple assumptions. Those assumptions led to deployment models which in todays’ world of cyber security have been proven to be quite vulnerable and inadequate to growing amount and diversity of threats.

A Security Delivery Platform addresses the above considerations and provides a powerful solution for deploying a diverse set of security solutions, as well as scaling each security solution beyond traditional deployments. Such platform delivers visibility into the lateral movement of malware, accelerate the detection of exfiltration activity, and could significantly reduce the overhead, complexity and costs associated with such security deployments.

In today’s world of industrialized and well-organized cyber threats, it is no longer sufficient to focus on the security applications exclusively. Focusing on how those solutions get deployed together and how they get consistent access to relevant data is a critical piece of the solution. A Security Delivery Platform in this sense is a foundational building block of any cyber security strategy.
