What is the Pragmatic Security Vendor Consolidation course about?

Security teams in innovation-driven organizations often face conflicting demands: adopt fast, comply reliably, and reduce risk, all without central authority or budget increases. Vendor sprawl emerges as a silent tax on agility, inflating costs, complicating audits, and delaying response times. Traditional consolidation approaches assume top-down control, leaving practitioners stuck without clarity or credible next steps.
