By the end of this learning path, you'll have a core understanding of:

  • How to measure your maturity as a vendor using metrics that matter to your buyers

  • How to identify the right product capabilities and appropriate phases of the sales process that CISOs would value

  • How to gauge where a CISO is coming from—their operational style, context-specific responsibilities, and the maturity of their infosecurity program

  • How to use this new trove of information to find the best time, and the best way, to engage with the CISO, increasing conversion probability for the sales pipeline

  • How to deliver the right collateral and assistance as part of the pre-sales and post-sales process
