The Free Tool That Fooled

A freemium cybersecurity tool generated 95% of pipeline for 18 months, earning a government site feature and positioning a cybersecurity vendor as a mission-driven brand, but its robust features cannibalized paid tier upgrades. Strategic alignment, usage limits, and clear premium differentiation are critical to balance lead generation with sustainable revenue in a commoditized market.

Choosing Credible Cybersecurity B2B Influencers

Chasing big name B2B influencers in cybersecurity can do more harm than good because they lack topical credibility. Despite having a large audience, their message won't hit the targeted buying groups you care about most.

Why Compliance Messaging is Ignored

Flaunting GDPR, SOC 2, or PCI DSS as unique features misses the mark—buyers expect these as table stakes. Instead, captivate them by showcasing outcomes
