How to differentiate and resonate with high-pressured CISOs

Revealing the latest drivers, plans and inhibitors for over 250 local CISO, Infrastructure and IT executives – collected in Q1 2023 from enterprise and government organisations responsible for 30% of Australia’s GDP.

Several vendors are having a tough year, pipelines have stalled due to economic conditions, deals are taking longer than ever to progress or close.

Meanwhile with Security as the headline issue, there is increase in associated funding across Australian organisations. From resilience, awareness to new technologies – opportunities will abound – if you can get in front of them.

Without being seen to be chasing the ambulance – how can you position your company and services as part of the solution? What can you say or align with to become the trusted strategic partner these executives need on their mission to create a secure and trusted organisation?

In this 55-minute virtual briefing, you’ll gain access to exclusive client-only research and data that will help you refine marketing messaging, campaign strategy and sales engagements to better connect with the needs of Australian CISOs and CSOs.

Organisations desire continued digital growth and agility for a distributed workforce, but more than ever must ensure security, compliance and trust.

We need to support the nation’s CISOs, improve risk culture and remove roadblocks to security success. Security leaders have the opportunity, attention, and funding flowing, but operating at 100%, many will struggle to find the talent to fix everything.

Watch the replay now.
