What is your biggest challenge when trying to consolidate security tools?

Go back 10, 12 years. First, there was very limited logging. Storage became cheap, computers became cheap, and people had money. When you have two recessions, cash becomes cheap. Since 2008, all these guys were getting 0% interest rates. Every Corporation had billions of dollars. So they'll build whatever they can, and then one thing they told everybody is just freaking go log everything. Compute doesn't cost you anything, so you start logging everything. Now you're drowning in data. You don't know where to start where to end. Then we started buying different tools. At RiskSense we focus on prioritization. It's pre-alert, pre incident. It's about if you have a weakness, if you have a vulnerability, if you have a misconfiguration, what would an attacker do? It's that hacker's mindset. When you talk about cloud-based pen testing, cloud-based analysis. Our mission is to spot the vulnerabilities before an attacker does. So what do you have to look at as indicators of attack? What is that one thing an attacker is going after? You can make a grave mistake by not setting up MFA. All your cloud, your SAS, they all come with MFAs. If you don't, then that one single control you're believing is going to help you is pretty much useless. This is simple hygiene and in all NPM.

There's a lot of overlap in functionality between various security tools. This results in inefficiency in terms of cost, compute power and response. Take a look at the various cloud platforms. GCP, AWS, Azure, etc all have their unique security tools in them. And they don't play nice together. So, you either need to learn them all, or buy another tool to do it for you.Then it seems like I never fully utilize the tools I have. And then I get challenged on the value of the tool.
And then a new tool comes along ......

This is true. When you see returns of 50, 60 multiples on startups, what are you going to do? You're going to fund, you keep funding. All you need is one success. At least you made your money back for your LPs.
