Reducing overlap and mitigating potential security gaps are just two reasons why application rationalization is a sound strategy
A major cybersecurity concern many organizations and executives may not be aware of but will become more prevalent in years to come are gaps in their IT infrastructure backend caused by tool sprawl. Tool sprawl occurs when IT teams rapidly adopt new technology, often leading to overlaps or missed requirements. With the IT tool market’s rapid expansion, the sheer volume of tools businesses adopt today is creating too much security complexity to manage.
More than $3.8 trillion was spent on technology applications in 2019 alone. With so many tools in use, it’s not always easy to identify what is causing the security gaps. How can enterprises prevent security incidents caused by tool sprawl?
Application rationalization utilizes modern IT tools rationalization platforms to keep pace with the rapid adoption of tools and the accelerated pace of change across the industry. These platforms automate the tools portfolio auditing process and monitor the tech stack continually to help identify overlap and gaps and make informed change recommendations.
