Industry Solutions
Breach disclosures, compliance mandates, and CISO appointments — the signals that create urgency for cybersecurity buyers, delivered in minutes.
Selling cybersecurity solutions is fundamentally event-driven. A data breach, a new compliance mandate, or a CISO appointment can transform a cold account into an active buyer overnight. But most sales teams learn about these events days or weeks after they happen — well after the buying window has opened and competitors have already engaged.
CISOs and security leaders are among the most guarded and skeptical buyers in B2B. They receive hundreds of cold outreach messages per month from vendors claiming to solve their problems. The only way to break through is with relevance — referencing a specific compliance deadline, a recent incident, or a publicly stated security initiative that demonstrates genuine understanding of their challenges.
Generic sales intelligence tools were not designed for the cybersecurity selling motion. They track funding rounds and job changes, but miss the signals that actually drive security spending: breach disclosures, regulatory enforcement actions, compliance framework updates, and security architecture changes. Without these industry-specific triggers, your reps are selling blind into one of the most time-sensitive markets in B2B.
