10Fold hosted our ninth annual Security Never Sleeps event during the 2019 North American RSA trade show just over a week ago, and from which we’ve extracted a few highlights. The event continues to attract some of the top minds in security – including CISOs, security architects, venture capitalists, and security vendors – all of whom come to be part of an interactive discussion on cybersecurity led this year by a six person panel (see below for a who’s who of this year’s panel talent).
The annual marketplace of ideas at Security Never Sleeps helps both security vendors and buyers perfect their communication strategies, addressing some of the biggest topics covering marketing and selling security products in the industry today. This included the role of analyst firms in buying decisions, making your products accessible to buyers, and the importance of maintaining service relationships with your buyers.
This year’s audience was very concerned over how key decision makers made their choices to purchase security products and services, and which sources of information they turn to and most value. Randolph Barr laid out Aryaka Networks view of analyst firm’s relevance in vendor consideration.
