AKATI Sekurity Named a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide™ for Cybersecurity Incident Response Retainer Services
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — 16 April 2026 — AKATI Sekurity, a global managed security service provider (MSSP) specialising in cybersecurity incident response and digital forensics, today announced that — for the second year in a row — it has been recognised as a Representative Vendor in a Gartner® Market Guide, this time in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide™ for Cybersecurity Incident Response Retainer Services, published 15 April 2026.
The recognition follows AKATI Sekurity’s inclusion as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide™ for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Retainer Services — the predecessor to this year’s guide, reflecting the market’s evolution toward cybersecurity incident response retainer (CIRR) services. AKATI Sekurity believes its recognition across both guides underscores the consistency and depth of its incident response practice.
As organisations contend with a rising frequency and severity of cyber incidents — and with retainer adoption increasingly shaped by cyber insurance and regulatory requirements — AKATI Sekurity believes its inclusion in the Market Guide reflects its commitment to helping global organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from critical security incidents. The firm’s CIRR services span both reactive capabilities — including investigation, containment, eradication, digital forensics, and recovery — and proactive services such as readiness assessments, tabletop exercises, and incident response plan reviews.
“We believe being recognised as a Representative Vendor for the second year in a row speaks to the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our team. When an incident strikes, the speed and quality of the response shape the outcome. Our retainer services exist to give clients the assurance that an experienced team is ready to respond the moment they need it — and to help them build resilience long before that moment comes.”
