Where to find application security professionals in order to convert them to customers
The idea that helps Application Security Professionals
Application Security Professionals want to detect and prevent security vulnerabilities in applications. However, they can't get it because they struggle to keep up with constantly evolving threats and security challenges.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. AppGuardian.
Application Security Sentinel : AppGuardian is an AI-powered application security platform that continuously monitors and analyzes applications for vulnerabilities and provides real-time alerts and recommendations to enhance security measures. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Veracode, Checkmarx, or WhiteHat Security!
How to find Application Security Professionals
You can get insights about the pain points of application security professionals if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.
The process, step by step
One process that we can totally recommend is this:
- Find out where application security professionals hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
- Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
- Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
- If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of application security professionals, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
- At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Application Security Sentinel.
