ABOUT CYBERFUTURISTS
Market research and vendor analysis on cybersecurity, AI and European sovereign technology.
Cyberfuturists researches cybersecurity, AI and European sovereign technology, in markets that include AI and Agentic SOC, Securing AI, Exposure Management and ambient AI in healthcare. Our readers are CISOs, technology strategists and industry analysts who want evidence before they decide.
We run market intelligence sites that track each new market continuously, and we track the European vendors building sovereign alternatives that the global research firms often miss.
OUR MISSION
Accurate, evidence-based intelligence on cybersecurity, AI and European sovereign technology, so security leaders, investors and vendors can decide with confidence.
We combine analyst judgement with data we collect every day on vendors, funding, product launches, hiring and what practitioners report.
Every conclusion we publish rests on data. Aunoo, our intelligence platform, collects news, funding rounds, product launches, job postings and social posts on every vendor in the markets we cover. Our analysts review it every week. Transparent, explainable and no pay to play.
We cover markets while they are still forming, before the large research firms get to them, and we follow the European vendors behind sovereign technology.
New security and AI technologies, covered early, plus the European vendors and regulation behind sovereign tech.
In-depth assessments of emerging cybersecurity and AI vendors and their products.
Our own methods, applied to market data we collect every day.
Advice from experienced cybersecurity practitioners.
Chief FuturistOLIVER ROCHFORD
Oliver Rochford, a former Gartner Research Director, leads our research, which starts from real-world data on vendors and the people who buy from them.
Over twenty-two years he has held roles at Qualys, Verizon, HP, Tenable and Securonix. At Gartner he covered SIEM, SOAR and XDR and wrote Magic Quadrant research. He co-authored several editions of Hacking for Dummies, has written for SecurityWeek, CSO Online and Dark Reading, and is regularly interviewed and cited by media, academic researchers and think tanks, including the OECD.
Meet Our AnalystsWHAT WE RESEARCH NOW
We are particularly interested in the gap between what a technology can demonstrate and what organisations can reliably deploy. That gap is where most of the interesting research is.
HOW CYBER FUTURISTS WORKS
Our ratings follow published criteria, so the same evidence always produces the same rating.
Vendors can advertise on our market intelligence sites and sponsor reports. All advertising is labelled, sponsored research is disclosed, and no amount of spend buys a better assessment.
Vendor engagement does not influence market map placement, and our advice to security leaders is never for sale to vendors.
