HFS on Digital Trust and Cybersecurity

We at HFS Research don’t look at cybersecurity as a complicated, tech-only puzzle. Our view is that a resilient cybersecurity environment can only be sustained through effective protection measures managed by a skilled and well-equipped workforce. Therefore, our research agenda revolves around two themes: augmentation and protection. Our underlying five core research pillars and distinctive CHIEF principles provide differentiated insights to CISOs, IT and business leaders across the enterprise.
