Vendors marked as nonparticipating vendors in the Forrester Wave graphic met the defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed only partially to the evaluation. These vendors are scored in accordance with The Forrester Wave™ And The Forrester New Wave™ Nonparticipating And Incomplete Participation Vendor Policy and their positioning is published along with those of the participating vendors.
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.
