Seeing is believing.
There are three ways to understand a security product. Walk through them.
Reading takes hours.
The research
Reports, analysis, frameworks. The slow, deep way to understand a market. It has always existed, and it always will. But nobody reads at the speed the market moves.

Meet Prateek Bhajanka
Prateek is not a media personality who learned security. He is a security practitioner and former Gartner analyst who picked up a microphone, and he asks vendors the questions buyers actually have.

FieldCISO
Founder & Chief Field CISOToday he leads FieldCISO Advisory. Field Security Insights is where the questions he once asked behind closed doors are asked in the open.
When Prateek asks a vendor why buyers should trust them, the answer carries the weight of the Magic Quadrant research he authored. That credibility is what your audience feels.
One topic. Four conversations. Sixty minutes.
