Securosis is an independent security research and analysis firm. The organization produces cybersecurity research through a model it calls "Totally Transparent Research," in which primary research is developed and published live on a blog in iterative post series, allowing public comment and feedback before being compiled into final papers or presentations. All primary research is released under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial Attribution license. The firm's research covers a range of cybersecurity topics, with notable focus on cloud security, data protection, and encryption. Published work includes analysis of cloud provider security features (such as AWS storage encryption and key management), multi-cloud deployment architectures, and related security considerations. Analysts engage directly with readers in comments, responding to technical questions and refining research positions based on community input. Securosis operates with contributing analysts who provide expertise across various security domains. The firm does not accept undisclosed vendor influence on research findings; vendors may comment publicly on research posts but have no back-channel input. Research is intended for security practitioners, IT and security teams evaluating technologies, and organizations navigating cloud and data security decisions. The company's approach positions it as an independent analyst and advisory resource rather than a product or managed service vendor, with its business model centered on research licensing and transparent, community-informed analysis.
