Traditionally, organizations have taken a piecemeal approach to security by buying point solutions and managing them in isolation.

Check Point Australia country manager Scott McKinnel said customers are struggling to manage what they have which is why there has been such a significant shift toward consolidation.

"There is also a need to reduce security management costs; organizations need to stop taking a siloed approach to security," McKinnel said.

"It's shifting slowly but management should be the number one priority so enterprises can take a big picture view.

"The goal is to have as few interfaces as possible."
