West Monroe Named in the 2025 Cybersecurity Consulting Services Landscape by Independent Research Firm

As cyber threats accelerate, West Monroe's inclusion highlights its ability to help organizations build resilience, protect critical systems, and prepare for what's next

CHICAGO, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- West Monroe, a global business and technology consulting firm, announced it has been named a Notable Vendor in Forrester's report, The Cybersecurity Consulting Services Landscape, Q3 2025. The report serves as a resource for decision-makers navigating complex cybersecurity challenges, offering an overview of 32 providers across the cybersecurity consulting market.

West Monroe has seen an increase in cybersecurity consulting services as AI rapidly reshapes the cyber threat landscape and is a top boardroom issue. West Monroe's Q1 2025 Supply Chain Pulse Poll found that 67% of executives cite cyber risk as their No. 1 operational concern, and research from Darktrace show that 74% of organizations now view AI-powered threats are a major challenge.

"Cybersecurity is no longer just about protection—it's about resilience, continuity, and the confidence to innovate, especially with new digital opportunities and threats like AI," said Bryan Fischer, cybersecurity discipline lead at West Monroe. "We believe our inclusion in Forrester's report reflects our ability to deliver business-aligned security programs that not only safeguard critical systems, and identities and data, but also enable growth in an increasingly complex digital landscape."

The firm delivers more than 600 cybersecurity engagements annually across industries including healthcare, manufacturing, energy & utilities, private equity, financial services, and more. West Monroe's approach combines deep technical expertise with business-first consulting to ensure that cybersecurity investments protect, sustain, and accelerate growth.

West Monroe is doubling down on cybersecurity services in two particular industries: private equity and utilities. The firm is particularly well known for its cyber due diligence experience, helping private equity firms identify risks early and build long-term resilience across their portfolios. It also has strong credentials in the utility sector, where increasingly interconnected systems and regulatory scrutiny heighten the need for stronger defenses and operational resilience.

West Monroe's impact for clients in these industries is already tangible: Helping a private equity-backed healthcare provider strengthen its defenses by securing 2,000+ endpoints in just 12 weeks and enabling a national utility to become more resilient with automated isolation procedures that cut cyberattack response time by 90% across more than 60 processes.

West Monroe helps clients strengthen security posture through:

• Strategy & Governance – Cybersecurity program development and optimization; advisory for private equity across due diligence, post-close improvements, and exit readiness.
• Securing Emerging Tech & AI – Security for AI, blockchain, quantum computing, and cloud environments.
• Operational Resilience & Data and Identities Protection – Safeguarding data and identities, risk remediation, and business continuity/disaster recovery strategies to minimize disruption.

To build the list, Forrester evaluated providers that help enterprises assess, design, and improve all aspects of their security and risk programs. This includes services spanning cybersecurity strategy and roadmap development, incident response, compliance readiness, securing emerging technologies, and AI security governance.
