Attack surfaces have expanded across remote devices, unmanaged cloud apps, third-party integrations and IoT. At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to automate reconnaissance and create attacks faster than most teams can investigate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4188\" data-end=\"4387\">The result?<br data-start=\"4199\" data-end=\"4202\" \/>Many organisations now operate with <strong data-start=\"4238\" data-end=\"4275\">20 &#8211; 40 disconnected security tools<\/strong>, none of which share enough context to provide clear visibility.

Alerts Without Context<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"4512\" data-end=\"4630\">When tools don\u2019t communicate, analysts waste time correlating logs manually. Critical threats slip through the cracks.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"4632\" data-end=\"4670\"><strong data-start=\"4637\" data-end=\"4668\">2.
