The conundrum with that is actually is correlation with all the tools that we were using and implementing. They were great tools, but they were also time-consuming to correlate across different platforms and so forth. We did use cloud-native tools right with the vendor and the cloud infrastructure vendors directly, and we also did use other best-in-breed security tools as well. But bridging all those and trying to find a good overlap of where the holes are, it can be done, but it's time-consuming. So really finding a more all-in-one tool simplifies and condenses the time involved to identify and to mitigate risk was a big key factor for us to actually find an all-in-one tool.

TL;DR

  • Managing multiple security tools creates significant correlation challenges, even when individual tools perform well in isolation.
  • Combining cloud-native tools with best-of-breed security solutions requires substantial manual effort to identify coverage gaps.
  • Consolidated all-in-one security platforms can dramatically reduce the time required to identify and mitigate cloud risks.

Summary

This brief session from Fortinet's Cloud Security Summit features Bob Chen from iHerb discussing the operational challenges of managing cloud security across multiple tools and platforms. Chen describes the core problem facing security teams today: while individual security tools may be effective, the effort required to correlate findings across cloud-native tools, best-of-breed security solutions, and infrastructure vendor offerings creates significant operational overhead. The conversation highlights how organizations struggle to identify security gaps when data is fragmented across disparate systems, making risk identification and mitigation unnecessarily time-consuming. Chen advocates for consolidated, all-in-one security platforms that can reduce complexity and accelerate the time from risk identification to remediation, positioning tool consolidation as a strategic priority for cloud security programs seeking operational efficiency without sacrificing coverage.

Key Quotes

0:00 "The biggest conundrum is actually the number of tools and strategies we were implementing in order to try to get a good grasp."
0:33 "Bridging all those and trying to find a good overlap of where the holes are, it can be done, but it's time-consuming."

FAQ

Why is using multiple security tools problematic even if each tool works well?

The challenge lies in correlation rather than individual tool performance. Security teams must manually bridge findings across cloud-native tools, infrastructure vendor tools, and third-party security solutions to identify gaps, which is time-consuming and creates operational overhead that delays risk mitigation.
