Enterprise Security Reports
Since October, 2005 I have written more than 160 research reports for independent analyst firm, The 451 Group. In addition to writing reports for 451's core research services - Market Insight Service and TechDealmaker, I also lead 451's security practice, and work on special reports, strategic counsel and recruitment and training of new security analyst and associate staff.
Because 451 is a subscription-based, syndicated research service, I cannot make these reports available here. What follows is a representative but incomplete sampling of the reports I publish for 451. Links click through to The 451 Group's website, where subscribers may read the reports. I cannot provide access to reports or send copies of reports to third parties.
