Access SE Labs testing in the way that fits your organization

Aligned Technology Advisers provides buyers with access to real-world cybersecurity testing data from SE Labs, along with the ability to apply that data to purchasing, renewal, and architecture decisions.

Buyers engage at different levels depending on their needs.

Entry Access: Initial Testing & Comparative Data

For targeted decisions and immediate needs

Typical range: $25,000 - 100,000
Pricing varies based on scope. Most entry engagements fall within this range.
Exceptionally large or complex engagements may fall outside this range.

This option is commonly used for:

• Upcoming renewals

• Product comparisons

• Vendor Shortlisting

• Challenging price increases

Buyers can engage ATA for:

• A Full Enterprise Test conducted by SE Labs

• Access to relevant comparative testing data across competing products

• Advisory support to apply results to a specific decision
  

Pricing varies based on scope. Engagements may range from applying existing SE Labs testing data to executing full enterprise testing of complex security stacks against advanced threats.

This is typically the first way organizations engage ATA.

Expanded Access: Multiple Enterprise Tests

As testing needs increase, many organizations expand beyond a single engagement and commit to multiple Full Enterprise Tests.

Expanded access is typically used by buyers who:

• Manage multiple major renewals each year

• Evaluate cornerstone security technologies

• Want repeatable leverage in procurement discussions

• Need faster turnaround as priorities shift
  

With multiple enterprise tests, buyers gain access to:

• Additional comparative data to guide renewal decisions and negotiations

• Non-public testing and configuration information to guide product decisions, emerging threat response, and detection engineering

• Annual security stack review informed by historical testing

• Ongoing consultative support aligned to the organization’s roadmap

• Reduced friction and faster execution for additional testing

Expanded Access engagements are typically structured as multi-test commitments, which reduce the marginal cost and execution effort of each additional decision.

Strategic Access: Persistent Testing Capability

For organizations that want independent testing as a standing capability

Strategic Access is designed for organizations that want independent, repeatable validation embedded into their security decision-making.

Strategic customers benefit from:

• Custom testing lab continuously maintained by SE Labs

  • Faster initiation of new tests without repeated setup

    • Enables SE Labs to provide independent validation of the client’s security stack and technology changes required to address emerging threats

• Periodic security stack tests that prove:

  • The security stack is capable and budget is being spent efficiently

  • The security stack lacks protections, and products capable of filling those gaps have been identified

• Broad access to comparative renewal data across the security stack, driving down renewal costs throughout the year

• Regular strategy discussions with the world leader in cyber security testing to address the security stack within the context of current operational needs

• The ability to pivot testing toward new products or threat classes as needed

• Executive engagement

  • Consultative discussions with leadership across the organization

  • Complimentary access to SE Labs’ invite-only C2 conference, bringing senior buyers and product builders together to discuss real-world security needs

• For the largest organizations, SE Labs data enables buyers to influence product builders

  • SE Labs already has established relationships with the largest product builders, and those vendors trust SE Labs data.

  • Continuous testing allows organizations to raise validated issues with vendors and then test both the problem and the proposed solution over time.

    • This feedback loop is not possible with point-in-time testing.
