Thank you. This was what I was asking.

Good question, but to answer it we need to break it down further.

Are you asking how many vendors, how many tools, or how many layers of protection that you need to deliver a proper AV solution?

If you’re in a position where you’re thinking of just implementing something like Defender for endpoints, then you’re doing something well. However you need to not just look at defending this edge, but instead take a look at defence in depth. Consider the overall strategy of your architecture to identify the gaps and potential breaches.

For some orgs, one AV solution is fine. For others, they may need 3.

If you can answer the questions above, then we’ll be able to expand further. Otherwise, send me a direct message and let’s talk :)

Implementation of Zero trust architecture, its modules across the organisation is a priority for us. So, we will be implementing zero trust strategies in IAM, inline with overall strategy.
