The Cyentia Institute is a research & data science firm with a mission to advance knowledge in the cybersecurity industry. We accomplish this by partnering with vendors and other organizations to publish a range of high-quality, data-driven content.

Think of what we do as “Research-as-a-Service.” We offer a way to produce quality cybersecurity research without having to first hire an expensive (and rare) in-house data science team. Perhaps even more valuable, we enable customers to actively engage in content marketing without the strong skepticism that typically accompanies vendor-sourced research. We’ve produced the most successful reports in the industry, worked in the most well-known research units, and literally written the book on data-driven security. Let the experience and the respect we’ve built showcase your data and capabilities to the market.
