OUR METHODOLOGY

NetBeacon MAP follows a published methodology for data collection and analysis. Definitions, mitigation criteria, and measurement standards are publicly documented.

NetBeacon MAP is a collaboration with KOR Labs, led by Dr. Maciej Korczyński of Grenoble Alpes University. KOR Labs uses a rigorous, transparent academic methodology, and the Institute works with PIR’s Data Analytics team to then create interactive reports and dashboards. This is a collaborative, evolving effort, and we welcome industry insights as we continue to refine and strengthen the project together.
