Platforms, programmability, and precarity: The platformization of research repositories in academic libraries – InfoDoc MicroVeille

IBM's latest research validates our long-standing position: security platformization works, but MSSPs need the right approach to truly benefit.

> Organizations with platforms took 72 fewer days to detect incidents and saw ROI four times better than non-adopters.

> MSSPs need more flexibility to secure multiple client environments, higher visibility standards, and the ability to scale deployments quickly.
