FAQs

Q: Why do vendors appear one year and not the next?

A: Forrester includes vendors based on inclusion criteria that require: notable revenue (at least $100 million in annual revenue related to data security), a broad range of capabilities for data security for both unstructured and structured data, a sizeable global presence (at least 20% of data security revenue outside home region), and interest from/relevance to Forrester clients. Vendors may appear in one evaluation and not another if they no longer meet these criteria, decline to participate, or if the market landscape and evaluation focus changes over time.
