Founding Research Partnership
Co-brand The State of AI Security Engineering Report 2026 and hold first right on every item of the research roadmap that follows it — the annual report and its supplements.
This is a research program partnership, not a logo placement. Your name is on the flagship report, your category is named in it, and you see every future roadmap item before anyone else does. One partner per cycle. Editorial control is never part of the deal — sponsorship is disclosed and the research stands on its own.
Price range
$85K · year one
Recommended fit
One partner per cycle. Built for a security training and lab platform (Hack The Box is the natural fit), or an AI security vendor ready to own the skills-validation conversation. Final scope $50K–$150K depending on activation depth.
