Award honors organizations embedding security, privacy, and risk leadership principles to strengthen stakeholder trust and build enterprise resilience

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.: Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today opened calls for nominations for its Security & Risk Enterprise Leadership Award. The award honors organizations that embrace the key concepts of Forrester’s trust imperative to build safe and secure relationships with their customers, employees, and partners. Further, the award celebrates organizations that proactively assess and mitigate the risks of emerging technologies such as agentic AI using the principals of Forrester’s AEGIS (Agentic AI Enterprise Guardrails For Information Security) framework to transform agentic AI security from a compliance exercise into a strategic trust enabler.

Open to both private‑ and public‑sector organizations with 1,000 or more employees, the award evaluates enterprises on their ability to deliver secure, private, and resilient customer offerings and experiences; enable employee practices that safeguard the organization while supporting success; establish governance, identity, and operational controls that make AI systems secure, transparent, and accountable; and foster trusted partner ecosystems that unlock innovation.

“Rapid advances in technology and geopolitical uncertainty continue to upend the threat landscape,” said Stephanie Balaouras, VP and group research director at Forrester. “This award recognizes organizations that have transformed security, privacy, and risk management from compliance functions into strategic capabilities that build trust and enable business success. We encourage organizations that have fostered a culture where risk management fuels growth to apply for this year’s Security & Risk Enterprise Leadership Award.”
