Capturing the hearts and minds of the CISO

19th July 2023

We are sure most CISOs would rather be prepared for a vulnerability than damage their credibility. They much rather prepare for a security award acceptance speech, than deal with the fall out of a data breach.

Over the last few years, the cybersecurity industry has become crowded, making it difficult for security vendors to stand out and capture the hearts and minds of the CISO.

According to The Cybersecurity Hype, 91% of decision-makers found it difficult to select cybersecurity vendors due to unclear marketing about their specific offering.

CISOs work long hours, cybersecurity worries are keeping them, their teams, and the wider business up at night. It is time to put their minds at ease, and give them back some time (for fishing, not phishing) and while you are at it, achieve great returns on your marketing spend.

Remember, us marketers are not the only ones who are metric minded. CISOs are too – they use data to measure performance. And like us, they think about security in terms of business opportunity, and how the decisions they make will affect profits, efficiency, and competitive edge.
