"Sprawl: It’s a problem nearly as old as the IT industry itself. Introduce a new technology, and sooner rather than later, it will spiral out of control"
Forbes, 2025
Tool sprawl – a persistent problem for Tech & Infosec executives. Nearly 50% of them named IT consolidation as their top priority back in 2016 [Deloitte 2016]. Yet fast forward to today, and 71% still say they don’t have it under control [Forbes 2025]. And with new AI tools emerging, sprawl will only accelerate.
Large enterprises now juggle an average of 54 tools for security alone [Forbes, 2025]. Factor in the full tech stack, and it’s no surprise that costs are spiraling and risk exposure is climbing. Given the pressure on both fronts, why has real progress been so elusive?
Join us alongside a group of senior executives, as we unpack what’s driving this ongoing problem and explore how we can start to make meaningful headway in 2025.
