Case Study Skurio – Shining a light into the Dark Web
In 2019 Skurio completed a corporate rebrand and needed to elevate its profile and communicate the brand’s new messaging to security professionals and channel partners.
Beyond the rebrand it was essential to establish a thought leadership position for Skurio’s Digital Risk Platform – an early warning system that alerted clients to any sensitive corporate data being exfiltrated onto the Dark or Open web.
Code Red was appointed because of its intimate understanding of the cybersecurity market, excellent media and analyst contacts, and strong copywriting credentials.
The strategy focused around gaining quality rather than volume of coverage in the tier one media.
Uniquely, a journalist ‘war games’ workshop was organised to educate the media, build relationships and demonstrate the ease and speed with which misinformation could be distributed around the Dark Web.
Other campaigns focused on specific vertical sectors such as the legal and charity sectors as well as gaining momentum from rapid response to breaking news.
The campaign was a success:
Insights Does being a thought leader really deliver on the bottom line?
Becoming a thought leader is a universal marketing objective for every cyber security company, but how much does it really influence a CISO’s buying behaviour and can it actually contribute to a vendor’s bottom line?
To better understand the answers to these and other questions surrounding thought leadership, Code Red commissioned the first ever global research focusing on its impact across the entire customer lifecycle.
We talked to 819 senior security decision makers from the UK, US, France, Germany, Benelux, Singapore, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand and covered topics like:
- How thought leadership influences cyber security purchasing decisions.
- A look into the mind of a CISO – how they spend their time and what they want from content.
- The topics and mediums that make the most successful and influential content.
- Practical steps on becoming an industry guru.
- Individual viewpoints from CISO and marketing specialists
