Not so long ago, security organizations rallied behind “best of breed” security solutions. But now, trying to reduce tech debt, rationalize tools and consolidate vendors, there is a push for the platform approach. Cisco’s Amilcar Alfaro talks about how to tap into the platform advantage.
In an interview with ISMG, Alfaro discusses:
- The shift from “best of breed;”
- Advantages of the platform approach;
- Security outcomes that can be achieved.
Alfaro works in the product marketing team in the Cisco Security Business Group. He has over 23 years of experience in the technology industry working in product marketing, product management and field marketing.
