About This Role :

Forrester is currently looking for an Analyst to conduct research and deliver practical advice for security and risk leaders and practitioners responsible for threat detection and response. The Security and Risk Analyst has a strong understanding of solutions required for network analysis and visibility (NAV) — solutions for analyzing network traffic to detect threats, integrate with other control points to respond to detected threats, and enable network forensics.

Candidates for this role must understand how NAV solutions round out capabilities and processes within the security operations center (SOC) and the availability of managed security services (MSS) to gain access to additional security expertise, increase security detection and response capabilities, and access the latest tools. In addition, they must understand service providers that design, architect, and implement Zero Trust for government and private sector organizations.

The successful candidate will research and uncover the strategies, technologies, and best practices in the markets and domains the role covers. The Security and Risk Analyst will deliver these insights and recommendations in written reports, presentations, tools and templates, video, inquiries, guidance sessions, and custom advisory for security and risk leaders across industries and geographies. Our research is aimed at helping enterprise clients solve business problems and improve business results by applying principles and best practices. We also advise vendors on their strategies, roadmaps, and messaging in line with our market insights and our recommendations for enterprise clients.
