More controls can create more noise. When every product adds alerts, policies, and dashboards, small teams spend most of their time triaging instead of improving the baseline. Complexity becomes its own security risk.
Security is strongest when controls are coherent. It is better to run fewer systems well than to run many systems poorly. Teams need time to understand what "normal" looks like so that real deviations are obvious.
We prefer a model of restraint. Build a clear baseline, enforce it consistently, and keep the operating model simple enough to maintain. When the baseline is steady, controls are meaningful, and teams can act quickly.
