Abstract:
We all have our favorite vendors and have those vendors we love to hate. Many places like trying to homogenize on a specific vendor or technology. What happens if you put all your eggs in one security vendor basket? Is it worth doing that? Does not knowing how a vendor’s Machine Learning makes decisions hurt or help us? Let us travel down a real-world scenario as to why using multiple vendors and multiple threat feeds could be advantageous. Wait, is that Defense in Depth? Maybe it is, but not in a way you normally think of.
