About the role
Help security leaders make better technology decisions. Share your expertise on the products you know best.
IANS is building the Vendor Intelligence Database (VID), a next-generation cybersecurity practitioner intelligence platform designed to provide decision makers with practical, user written insights on cybersecurity products and services. Unlike traditional vendor profiles and analyst summaries, VID is built from the perspective of practitioners who have directly evaluated, implemented, administered, or operated these solutions in real-world environments.
We're looking for experienced cybersecurity professionals to serve as Vendor Experts and contribute insights for products they know through recent use.
What You'll Do
As a Vendor Expert, you'll share your experience with specific cybersecurity products by:
- Contributing structured assessments and practitioner insights
- Reviewing and validating product information
- Highlighting strengths, limitations, and real-world use cases
- Helping ensure information remains current as products evolve
Additional information
Your contributions will help fellow practitioners cut through marketing claims and make more informed security technology decisions.
Why Participate?
- Contribute only to the areas you have expertise
- Work entirely on your own schedule
- Earn compensation for sharing your insights and experience
- Help improve technology decision-making across the cybersecurity community
This is not a traditional consulting or employment role. Most contributors participate on a flexible basis, providing current insight on products they already know well.
This opportunity is designed to fit around your existing role and commitments. Some experts contribute just a few hours each quarter, while others engage more often depending on their availability and areas of expertise.
Who We're Looking For
You may be a good fit if you have recent hands-on experience with one or more cybersecurity products, including as:
- Security leaders and executives
- Security architects
- Engineers and administrators
- Product owners
- Security operations professionals
- Cloud and infrastructure security practitioners
- Governance, Risk, and Compliance professionals
- Consultants with direct implementation experience
Additional information
Experience may include evaluating, purchasing, implementing, administering, operating, or supporting cybersecurity technologies.
