Fragmented, siloed security systems can be challenging for security teams, decreasing the effectiveness and speed in which they can react to incidents. Gartner coined the term Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) to describe a strategy in which organizations implement “distributed security tools by centralizing data and control plane to achieve more effective collaboration between tools.” The goal of CSMA is to improve detection and increase response time, moving away from fragmented solutions that create barriers to a comprehensive security posture. CSMA is intended to deliver a “scalable, interoperable and composable framework for various security controls and solutions to interoperate more effectively.”

When adopting cybersecurity mesh, consider the benefits of implementing this approach. Fortinet describes three factors:

1. Ease of implementation

CSMA can make “design, deployment and maintenance simple and efficient.”

2. Practicality

Traditional security practices can become complicated with the rise in cloud-native applications and disseminated data. CSMA can help control data and applications outside of the network perimeter.

3. Agility

CSMA allows for a more seamless approach to security. Response time and scalability become more agile.
