IANS Unveils New Brand, Reinforcing Its Commitment to Guiding CISOs Through Every Step of Their Cybersecurity Journey

Oct 1, 2024

BOSTON – IANS, the leading provider of independent research and advisory services for the cybersecurity industry, today announced the launch of its new brand. This rebrand reflects IANS’ expanding role in helping CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) navigate their increasingly complex leadership responsibilities in the dynamic cybersecurity landscape.

“The CISO's job is incredibly difficult, and we’ve created a unique business to support CISOs and their teams,” says IANS Founder & CEO Phil Gardner. “We have an exclusive focus on cybersecurity - that's all we do; and through the IANS Faculty, our team of 130+ practitioners, we help CISOs and their teams move faster and make more informed decisions - managing risk while saving time and budget.”

Today’s CISOs face a wide array of challenges. IANS’ rebrand reflects this reality. "Our previous logo featured a physical building, which felt too limiting for CISOs who manage everything from navigating AI policy to delivering Board presentations," explains IANS Chief Marketing Officer Jean Rosauer. "The orange arrow in our new logo represents the path forward for CISOs, with IANS providing guidance and expertise at every step.”

IANS’ updated brand also takes inspiration from its Faculty of industry leaders who engage with clients daily. “Our Faculty brings the energy, credibility and confidence that CISOs need to tackle today’s security challenges, and this is at the heart of our new brand,” Rosauer adds.

Organizations of all sizes and industries choose IANS for its timely, actionable insights, including notable companies from the Fortune 500: 

  • 15 of the top 25 financial services companies 
  • Four of the top five business services companies 
  • Three of the top five hospitality companies 
  • Top five retailers 

 

IANS supports CISOs and their teams in reducing organizational risk through three platform offerings: 

  • A proprietary suite of subscription-based decision support content, professional development, tech-enabled research, and on-demand expertise 
  • Consulting services, including security assessments and penetration testing 
  • A vibrant community for peer interaction and the exchange of best practices 

 

This brand evolution underscores IANS’ ongoing commitment to be the trusted partner CISOs need in today’s rapidly shifting cybersecurity environment.
