Strategic Planning Assumptions

  • By 2028, 90% of endpoint protection vendors will offer AI discovery and usage control features.
  • By 2029, 30% of midsize organizations will converge endpoint, data security and identity security capabilities into a workspace security platform, enabling holistic protection and centralized policy management.
  • By 2029, organizations that integrate endpoint security tools, management processes and operations teams will reduce incident response times by at least 40%.

The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Consulting Services, Q1 2026 Report

The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Consulting Services, Q1 2026 report is just out.

Cybersecurity consulting is in transition as genAI and automation promise faster, tailored insights — yet client expectations outpace current capabilities. Buyers increasingly expect real-time adjustments to risk assessments and policy recommendations, but most providers still operate on structured phases rather than continuous delivery. This gap fuels scrutiny of engagement economics: While firms advertise AI-driven efficiencies, customers rarely see proportional cost reductions. Procurement teams now demand transparent pricing and measurable ROI, challenging providers to reconcile innovation claims with actual savings. CISOs must navigate a mature market where differentiation depends on operationalizing AI without sacrificing governance or trust.

Cybersecurity consulting services customers using this evaluation to inform a purchase decision should consider:

  • AI and automation embedded in workflows
  • Strategy aligned with business outcomes
  • Transparent economics and ROI evidence as requirements

Congrats PwC, EY and McKinsey for being Leaders on this report.
