What’s your process for identifying top cybersecurity research topics?

Identifying top cybersecurity research topics is a critical aspect of our work, requiring a multi-faceted approach that combines various strategies and techniques. Here is an overview of our process:

1. Industry Trends Analysis:

We closely monitor the latest trends in the cybersecurity industry, such as new attack vectors, emerging technologies, and regulatory developments. This helps us identify areas of research that are relevant and timely.

2. Stakeholder Input:

We engage with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, and internal teams, to gather insights and perspectives on pressing cybersecurity issues. Their input helps us prioritize research topics that align with market needs.

3. Expert Engagement:

We collaborate with industry experts, researchers, and thought leaders to gain deeper insights into specific cybersecurity domains. Their expertise and feedback guide our research direction.

4. Threat Intelligence Tracking:

We monitor threat intelligence reports, security advisories, and vulnerability disclosures to identify emerging threats and areas of concern. This helps us focus our research efforts on addressing critical cybersecurity issues.

5. Internal Brainstorming Sessions:

We conduct regular brainstorming sessions with our research team to generate new ideas, explore innovative approaches, and prioritize research topics. This collaborative process ensures that we cover a wide range of cybersecurity challenges.

By combining these strategies, we develop a comprehensive research agenda that addresses the most pressing cybersecurity issues of today and anticipates the challenges of tomorrow.
