63. Buying more security tools? You might be making things worse
Description
Too many startups fall into the “more tools = more security” trap. Instead of better protection, they end up with data silos, integration nightmares, and security teams buried in alerts—while real threats slip through the cracks.
Kabir Mathur, CEO of Lean, breaks down why adding more security tools might be your biggest mistake, the hidden costs of tool sprawl, and how to actually build a security stack that works.
