A Singular Focus

The MARKER advantage begins with a singular focus: Cybersecurity Channel Intelligence based on deep industry relationships

OUR ADVANTAGE

Relationships, Not Surveys.

Our global staff gathers coordinated business intelligence built on relationships, not surveys. These one-on-one conversations built on years of trusted relationships enable us to understand the cadence and flow of Cybersecurity spending, and the "why" behind that spending.

The MARKER method has served our customers and contacts well for 20 years.

Software and Channel Expertise

Founded by former Software Channel Executives and a Financial Analyst, MARKER applies C-level software experience and Financial Analysis to its research, identifying dislocations between fact and the "common knowledge" narrative, and making our research easier to consume for investors. All MARKER employees have backgrounds in software, with channel experience.
