Last week, Forrester published The Forrester Wave™: External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026. Since our last evaluation in 2023, the market has undergone a significant transformation. This transformation has been driven not only by the growing sophistication and breadth of threat intelligence requirements but also by the rapid adoption of agentic AI as organizations […]

In our evaluation of external threat intelligence service providers, we identified the most significant ones and researched, analyzed, and scored them. This report shows how each provider measures up and helps you select the right one for your needs.

In Forrester’s High-Performance IT Survey, 2026 , 58% of technology pros report having comprehensive security operations (SecOps) visibility with adaptive detection, orchestrated response, and closed-loop feedback mechanisms; 28% report partial visibility and 13% limited visibility. Organizations with partial or limited SecOps visibility struggle with a lack of investment and have difficulty maximizing existing investments in technology and other resources. It’s vital to realize the value of existing investments and prioritize those that improve visibility and tailor SecOps to specific business needs. This is a snapshot of Forrester’s data on the current state of detection and response in IT organizations.

The Q4 2025 Forrester Wave™ evaluation for network analysis and visibility (NAV) solutions was the first iteration of the research to evaluate vendors on their post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities, a decision that has become more pronounced in 2026. The rationale was compelling then; it is unavoidable now. Most notably, the US federal government has moved […]

Threat intelligence can enhance detection, improve analyst experience, and improve the prioritization of vulnerabilities, but operationalizing threat intelligence at scale can be manual and full of roadblocks. Bridge the gap between threat intelligence and detection engineering by identifying and correcting challenges that hinder your detection efforts and strengthening the link between threat intelligence and detection engineering teams. Security leaders can use this report to better utilize threat intelligence for threat detection and response.

Uncertainty and change aren’t new for cybersecurity; they are its operating system. Security leaders must now handle a threat landscape influenced by two forces that don’t politely take turns: breakneck AI innovations and geopolitical volatility. This webinar lays out the five threats that will impact security teams the most in 2026: near-autonomous attacks from nation-states, concerns over AI agent threats, non-negotiable AI software supply chains, provenance and IAM risks of AI agents, and digital sovereignty spanning regions and tech stacks. Join this webinar to understand, prioritize, and respond to these threats in 2026.Key takeaways: Explore how advanced AI is reshaping cyber espionage and the defensive strategies organizations must adopt to stay ahead.Learn why organizations need to track and govern autonomous AI agents to prevent unchecked decision-making at scale.Discover critical strategies for safeguarding interconnected AI systems, from vendor transparency to Zero Trust principles.Understand why traditional IAM approaches fall short and how new standards can help secure AI agent identities and activities.Dive into the complexities of sovereign AI solutions and the risks they pose to global tech stacks and regional independence.Target audience level: all levels

AI innovation is moving at an unprecedented rate, and geopolitical tensions show no signs of easing. Forrester identifies these factors as two primary forces reshaping the threat landscape, placing additional strain on CISOs who are already stretched thin managing increasingly complex security programs. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing are early signals of how […]

On June 2, 2026, security researchers published a paper about the creation of an AI worm. The headline is as subtle as a fire alarm: This lab experiment of a worm is no longer just code that blindly crawls across your environment; it leverages AI models and can now reason, execute, and learn in complete […]
