Recognition & wins
Recognition worth sharing
The wins the industry actually celebrates — Magic Quadrant Leaders, Forrester Wave placements, Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice, standout MITRE results, funding and launches. Every one is factual and linked to its source. If it's your company, share it; if it's a vendor you rate, your network will want to know.
Why this is here, and what it is not. This is recognition reporting, not advertising. Nobody pays to appear — placements are drawn from public analyst reports and company announcements, each linked so you can verify it. We cover the losses too; see the incident ledger.
