Help security leaders make better technology decisions. Share your expertise on the products you know best.

IANS is building the Vendor Intelligence Database (VID), a next-generation cybersecurity practitioner intelligence platform designed to provide decision makers with practical, user written insights on cybersecurity products and services. Unlike traditional vendor profiles and analyst summaries, VID is built from the perspective of practitioners who have directly evaluated, implemented, administered, or operated these solutions in real-world environments.

We're looking for experienced cybersecurity professionals to serve as Vendor Experts and contribute insights for products they know through recent use.

🎯 Candidate Preparation Guide For Ians Applicants

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Cybersecurity risk management maturity, CISO-level advisory acumen, and translating threat intelligence into actionable enterprise defense strategy.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

1. Adopting an alarmist, 'the sky is falling' attitude instead of taking a measured, risk-adjusted approach
2. Lacking an understanding of the business constraints that CISOs face daily when allocating budgets
3. Providing generic security advice rather than tailored, context-specific threat mitigation strategies

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I help organizations operationalize cybersecurity not as a blocker, but as a strategic business enabler aligned directly with executive risk appetite.
