You don't need to know the acronyms to understand the article. Use context clues to infer that the author's point is "traditional tools don't solve the problem I am about to present". They even expand the acronyms later in the article.

Besides, most such acronyms for classes of security tools don't actually mean much. They just represent the current flavor of the week in the security arms race.

That's the OPPOSITE of how you're supposed to use acronyms. If you're going to spell it out anyway, why not do it the first time you talk about it like you're supposed to?
