The Best Defense Is Proactive: GreyMatter Recognized by Forrester Among Proactive Security Platforms
ReliaQuest's GreyMatter platform has been recognized by Forrester as a proactive security platform, reflecting an industry shift from purely reactive threat response to anticipating risks before incidents occur. The company argues that modern attackers move too quickly (achieving lateral movement in four minutes in 2025) for reactive-only approaches, and positions proactive operations around three pillars: visibility across assets, business-context-driven prioritization, and automated remediation at scale. GreyMatter applies AI to investigate and respond to alerts across 300+ technologies with stated 99.4% accuracy.
Why it matters: Security leaders and practitioners evaluating SOC maturity should assess whether their current tools and processes support proactive risk reduction; those still primarily reacting to alerts face growing exposure as attacker speed accelerates.

The Best Defense Is Proactive: GreyMatter Recognized by Forrester Among Proactive Security Platforms
ReliaQuest's GreyMatter platform has been recognized by Forrester in its Q1 2026 Proactive Security Platforms Landscape report as a notable player in a newly defined market category. The report establishes proactive security operations, which emphasizes continuous risk reduction before incidents occur through visibility, prioritization, and remediation, as the industry standard to counter modern threats moving at accelerated speeds. GreyMatter applies agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to investigate and respond to alerts across hundreds of technologies, aiming to contain threats in under five minutes.
Why it matters: Security operations teams trapped in reactive alert cycles should evaluate whether a proactive platform addressing fragmented tooling and siloed data can help reduce dwell time and free analysts from manual triage work, especially as attackers achieve lateral movement in minutes rather than hours.
