The PR Challenge Hidden in Plain Sight

Why cybersecurity companies need smarter PR strategies to cut through the consolidation conversation

· Public Relations,Tech PR

Released thirty years ago this month, Hackers seemed like pure fiction. Today, as cybersecurity threats dominate headlines and boardroom conversations, the challenge is both technical and communicational.

While Hollywood movies like Hackers, Sneakers, and, later, Blackhat made hacking look like pure fantasy, the real story cybersecurity companies tell is far more complex and, frankly, harder to make compelling.

In our cybersecurity PR campaigns, there's a common theme our clients are addressing: 'cybersecurity tool sprawl'. This is when corporations deploy multiple security solutions that often overlap, creating more complexity than protection.

The result? An abundance of monitoring tools, countless dashboards, alerts, stretched IT resources, and potential security gaps.

We decided to research the extent of the problem and created an infographic to visualise the findings.

The most successful cybersecurity PR campaigns we've managed talk about features that address the real challenges keeping executives awake at night. Tool sprawl is one of those challenges, and it's creating opportunities for companies that can talk clearly about the solution.
