Introducing SACR
SACR is where security leaders go for clarity
Software Analyst Cybersecurity Research (SACR) is a modern analyst firm for the modern security industry.
We work with CISOs, founders, and security teams to bring clarity to complex categories, through independent research, strategic insight, and high trust conversations.

Our Promise to You
We promise to keep it clear
The industry is saturated with buzzwords, hype, and jargon. You won’t find that here. We break down complex ideas into practical, understandable insights without watering them down.
We promise to keep it real
Our research is grounded in hundreds of conversations with security teams, buyers, and builders. If we say something, it’s because we’ve heard it firsthand.
We promise to stay independent
We don’t take shortcuts. Every report is written in our own voice, free from vendor spin, and always driven by what the market is actually doing, not what marketing says it is doing.
What We Do
Our work is organized into four categories/buckets:
Research
Deep, independently authored reports and long-form articles that clarify shifting categories and bring vendor stories to life with real technical and market context.
Advisory
Ongoing strategic partnerships that deliver market insight, product feedback, and GTM guidance shaped by real conversations with CISOs, practitioners, operators, and investors.
Speaking
Live sessions and social media content built to highlight your story, architecture, or strategy in high-trust formats across SACR’s audience and events.
Education
Hands-on learning programs and sponsorship opportunities that teach modern cybersecurity concepts through real use cases, not slide decks.
We’re not here to follow the industry. We’re here to help shape it: one report, one conversation, and one partnership at a time.
