Rohit Dhamankar, VP of M&A and AI Strategy at Fortra, explains in Forbes that the most successful cybersecurity acquisitions are driven by strategy, not AI hype. He argues that organizations should focus on solutions that close product gaps, strengthen platform capabilities, and deliver measurable customer value. As cybersecurity vendors continue to consolidate, these decisions will play an important role in building simpler, more effective security platforms.
