What Forrester’s Recommendation Means To Us

It Is Forrester’s Segmentation, Not Ours

A third-party analyst firm naming us among top vendors carries more weight than a vendor defining themselves.

It Self-Qualifies the Market

If you want a configure-it-yourself platform, this probably is not for you. If you want a managed-service partner, we believe you should shortlist us.

A New Category, Not a Repositioned One

Forrester renamed the category in October 2025 – from “Bot Management” to “Bot and Agent Trust Management Software” – to reflect what AI agents are now doing to enterprise traffic.

Fully Managed Detection and Response

Dedicated SOC, threat research team, ongoing tuning and configuration. Operational burden handled by Netacea – no additional headcount required on your side.

“Customers raved about the close vendor relationship and responsive customer support team”

What Customers Say

Media & Publishing

“Netacea picked up extraction activity that our previous solution missed entirely. Once the models were tuned to our traffic patterns, the visibility was remarkable – we finally knew what was being taken, and by whom.”

VP Digital Operations, Global Publisher G2 Review

Retail

“Pricing scrapers were hammering our site to the point of bringing it down. With Netacea, that’s simply not a problem anymore, and we didn’t have to hire anyone to run it.”

Head of DevOps, E-Commerce Retailer G2 Review

Gaming

“We went from regular security incidents to quiet. A lot is still happening out there – it’s just not getting through. The model keeps up with the attackers: they re-tool, it adapts, and eventually they give up.”

CISO, Tier 1 Gaming Platform G2 Review
