Cybersecurity Peer Benchmark Study 2024
Our Peer Benchmark tool is designed to harness the collective wisdom of the community and help members understand their position relative to peers. Every respondent gets a personalized report plotting their response vs. the rest of the group.

The survey, guided by our advisory board covers 5 key areas:
-

Challenges and Perspectives

Budgets and Investments

​
Participate in this ongoing benchmark to see where you stand vs. peers. Vendors interested in this survey could request a copy of the findings by reaching out to our team.​​​​
