As security organizations look to move faster, reduce complexity, and get more value from their technology investments, the traditional build-versus-buy decision is becoming more nuanced. CISOs are increasingly evaluating where commercial solutions provide meaningful advantage, where internal capabilities may offer greater flexibility and control, and whether existing vendor relationships are delivering enough value to justify continued investment. This collaborative discussion will explore how CISOs are making these decisions, what they expect from strategic security partners, and how factors such as AI, consolidation, cost, talent, and speed are changing the equation. Participants will compare approaches to building versus buying, managing vendor relationships, and creating a security technology strategy that supports the organization’s broader priorities.
