Where to find application security analysts in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Application Security Analysts

Application Security Analysts want to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities in applications. However, they can't get it because they struggle to keep up with new threats and vulnerabilities.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. AppSecGuard.

Application Security Vulnerability Management : AppSecGuard is a software solution that uses AI to automatically detect and prioritize vulnerabilities in applications, helping analysts stay ahead of new threats. It also provides actionable insights for remediation. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Veracode, or Checkmarx!

How to find Application Security Analysts

You can get insights about the pain points of application security analysts 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 analysts 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 analysts, 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 Vulnerability Management.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
