The five step plan that cuts security budget waste

A security leader outlines how organizations waste budget by organizing spending around vendor categories, compliance requirements, and reactive headlines rather than attacker paths. The inefficiencies stem from tool overlap, redundant detections, and unused software licenses covering significant portions of infrastructure at full cost.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing stretched budgets need to realign spending away from compliance theater and overlapping tools toward risk-driven allocation to maximize protection per dollar spent.
