As emerging technologies - especially AI - continue to evolve, the need for specialized, best-in-breed solutions becomes even more crucial. The expertise, flexibility, and precision that these solutions provide are key to addressing the unique and often complex risks that large, unified platforms may overlook. It's not just about coverage. It's about depth, adaptability, and staying ahead of sophisticated threats. In the fast-moving world of #cybersecurity, having specialized solutions is not just a benefit—it's a necessity. #GenAI #TrojAI #Security
𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 There is an ongoing debate as to which is better to secure emerging tech, best-in-breed point solutions or unified platforms. Best-in-breed point solutions will always be needed – 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 when securing AI behaviour. Here’s why. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Emerging tech introduces new types of risk. Large vendors have broad coverage but lack deep expertise in emerging areas. Best-in-breed solutions are developed by specialists focused solely on these new types of risk. 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Use of emerging tech varies greatly between industries and requires flexible solutions. Large vendors struggle to adapt to the unique needs of each organization. Best-in-breed solutions can be customized to address unique risk profiles. 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Emerging tech introduces nuanced risks that are easy to overlook. Large vendors are convenient but may leave entire areas vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. Best-in-breed solutions are designed to address these nuances. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Attackers know that unified platforms come with blind spots due to prioritizing breadth over depth. Securing AI systems is complex and best-in-breed solutions that focus on depth of coverage are better equipped to catch subtle attacks. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 Staying ahead of threats introduced by emerging tech requires focused innovation. Large vendors often lag, burdened by the need to support so many technologies. Best-in-breed teams are at the forefront of their fields and are more nimble and able to integrate the latest threat intelligence and innovative protections. Securing against emerging threats, especially when it comes to AI behaviour, requires more than convenience, it requires expertise, adaptability, precision and speed. CISOs know from experience that point solutions are not ideal but will always be needed. In a world where trust matters, it is disingenuous to suggest otherwise. That’s my hot take as CTO of TrojAI.
