There’s only a tiny window to show value to a CISO
Security executives are too busy for a sales pitch or a demo unless it addresses their most pressing problem. And even then, cybersecurity product and services companies are overlooking how to understand the problem. The result?
Sales and marketing teams at your firm are resorting to guesswork, the status quo and strategies and tactics that are met with buyer hostility causing your team to struggle to get a seat at the table.

Which leaves you with:
- A poor or unpredictable pipeline
- Lost accounts and deals
- Rising customer acquisition costs
- Difficulty breaking through the market noise
- A struggle to gain or maintain your competitive edge
If cybersecurity tech companies know precious little about their customers, how do they expect to grow and sustain business?
Old strategies just aren’t up to the challenge anymore. The only way forward is to lead with empathy and value.
But how?
Get the rare opportunity to affect change in your organization with a validation panel of C-Level buyers who have decision making power
The Audience 1st CISO Insights Summit Roadshow is a unique event designed to help solution and service providers meet customer needs, maintain progress, and scale growth. Participants have the rare opportunity to get in front of a curated CISO panel to access invaluable customer feedback to improve sales pitches, GTM messaging and strategy, and customer experience. Get firsthand validation and insights from information security leaders from a diverse set of expertise and industry verticals. You’ll walk away with evidence-based action items you can immediately apply to your product, marketing and sales strategies.
The Summit is not a speed dating event for vendors and buyers. The event aims to optimize your business sustainability and increase revenue through feedback and nurturing Relationship Capital among decision makers. This can lead to increased loyalty, repeat business, valuable insights, positive word-of-mouth among the security leader community, and referrals – to create a sustainable competitive advantage and long-term success.
