Nisos Named to Constellation ShortList™ for Human Risk Management Solutions

We’re proud to share that Nisos has been named to Constellation Research’s ShortList for Human Risk Management Solutions in Q3 2026. This recognition places us among a select group of leading vendors that are helping organizations reduce cyber risk created by human behavior.

A Research-Driven Selection Process

Solutions included on the Constellation ShortList are selected through rigorous analyst research that includes client inquiries, customer references, vendor selection projects, and market analysis. This multi-input approach ensures the list reflects both market momentum and practical enterprise adoption. For buyers, it serves as a curated guide to focus their evaluation on vendors that deliver measurable results.

The human risk management market is evolving rapidly. According to Chirag Mehta, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Constellation, who authored this ShortList, organizations are moving beyond basic security training toward solutions that “measure, influence and reduce human-centered risk in a practical operating model”. Mehta notes that “the strongest offerings move beyond training completion rates toward continuous risk sensing, adaptive engagement and action that security teams can operationalize”.

At Nisos, we couldn’t agree more. This shift reflects a fundamental change in how organizations approach human-centered risk, from periodic training events to continuous intelligence and intervention.

The Human Risk Intelligence Difference

While many solutions in this space focus on training employees to spot phishing emails or avoid risky behavior, Nisos approaches human risk from the outside in. We look beyond your firewall to understand the threats targeting your people and the risks originating from them.

When executives become targets, when employees face financial pressure that could drive insider risk, when fraudulent candidates slip through hiring processes—these risks develop outside your network perimeter, where traditional security tools can’t see them. That’s where we operate.

“This recognition validates what we’ve been saying for years: human risk is the new frontier in cybersecurity,” said Ryan LaSalle, CEO of Nisos. “But you can’t manage what you can’t see. While others focus on changing behavior inside the firewall, we’re giving security teams the outside-the-firewall intelligence they need to protect their people and make smarter decisions about who to trust.”

Why Attribution Matters

What sets our approach apart is attribution: our ability to tie digital personas to real humans, and real humans to their complete digital footprint. Give us a person, we’ll map their full digital exposure. Give us a threat actor’s persona, we’ll identify who’s behind it. This capability underpins everything we do, from executive protection to insider threat prevention to employment fraud detection.

This approach reflects the broader market shift that Mehta identified: from periodic training events to continuous intelligence and intervention. While others focus on changing behavior after the fact, we give you the outside-the-firewall visibility to see risks as they develop and act before they impact your organization. When we identify a threat targeting your executive or uncover behavioral precursors to insider risk, you get finished intelligence that’s ready for your board, your legal team, or law enforcement — not alerts to investigate, but findings you can act on immediately.

Looking Forward

Being recognized alongside established players in this space validates our approach to human risk intelligence. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats that target and originate from people, the need for outside-the-firewall visibility will only grow.

The human layer has always been both the weakest link and the strongest asset in cybersecurity. We’re proud to be helping organizations see their human risks clearly, so they can protect what matters most.

See what outside-the-firewall intelligence can do for your organization. The threats targeting your executives, infiltrating your workforce, and hiding in your third-party relationships develop where traditional tools can’t see them.
