Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture, Streamlined: How to Reduce the Cost of Incidents by 90%
We are thrilled to present the inaugural edition of Streamlined — the D3 Security Smart SOAR Newsletter! Streamlined will give you insights into the world of security automation and?its transformative impact on the cybersecurity landscape.
In this edition, we discuss the increasing need for intelligent, automated security solutions as organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We are in an era where most security teams are reactive, rather than proactive. The few that have been able to handle incidents before they turn into real threats have one thing in common: they have adopted what Gartner calls? Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA). But don’t take our word for it just yet. Read on.
Most organizations prefer to select best-of-breed security tools, but decision-makers are often met with the dilemma of using the best tools that work great independently or implementing a suite of security solutions that integrate well with each other.
This is not an easy choice to make and it often seems that there is no right answer. Building an ecosystem where all your security tools are working together to give you the best protection against any cyber threat is rather complicated.
In any major data breach, investigators often find one main reason for the infiltration being successful: the gaps in the fence, or the lack of integration and communication between security tools that leads to missed opportunities to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Simply put, organizations resort to being reactive rather than proactive.?
But how do we solve this?
The best way to build a proactive security infrastructure is to adopt a well integrated flexible approach that brings together all your tools, so they can talk to each other and enable analysts to make well informed decisions, FAST. Gartner’s fancy term—Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA)—is just that.?
D3 Security’s analysis of an attack on Equifax, one of the largest credit reporting agencies in the United States, illustrates why Gartner estimates that CSMA can reduce the financial impact of individual security incidents by 90%.
The use of CSMA extends beyond Enterprises. MSSPs also use this framework to build a cohesive security framework that helps them deliver a higher value offering to their customers while keeping costs in check.
However, achieving a mesh architecture is a little more complicated for an MSSP. Since MSSPs need to offer the best-in-class solutions preferred by their customers, the all-in-one solutions from a single vendor can’t meet their needs. MSSPs need versatility and the ability to connect these best-in-class tools together for the sake of their customers.
The only surefooted way forward, for any Enterprise or MSSP, is to explore vendor-agnostic security automation tools.

To conclude, security teams that use best-in-class solutions face the challenge of getting blindsided because these tools won’t talk to each other. On the other hand, teams that use a suite of solutions from a single vendor miss out on the benefits of leveraging the best security solutions available. Building a mesh architecture is the logical way forward, but integrating tools can be a time-consuming process that takes dedicated coding resources.
This is why finding a SOAR tool that is vendor-agnostic and offers easy out-of-the-box integrations is what most security leaders are looking for.?
Not to brag but D3 Security’s Smart SOAR is one of the most talked about SOAR platforms in Gartner’s market guides and 70% of our new clients in the past year have switched from an existing SOAR tool to D3 Security’s Smart SOAR. Find out why!
