CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks duel over platforms vs. bundles
The cybersecurity platform wars may be getting a bit chippy as CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks duel as they try to convince enterprises to consolidate on their platforms.
Five years ago, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) were on top of the world. These executives played mission-critical roles in driving multi-million dollar projects that delivered massive change. However, a global recession and the inability of CIOs to deliver on business value have tarnished their status.
