  • Procurement: 75% of organizations would prefer buying integrated solutions rather than building them.
  • Organizations with highly integrated systems had a 41% stronger capability of threat detection
  • Firms with a highly skilled workforce, processes and technologies achieve 3.5 times better performance in threat detection.
