    Do Webinars Still Work in Cybersecurity?

    In this episode of The Marketing Front Lines, we speak with Megan Howard, VP of Marketing at Vali Cyber. Vali Cyber has carved out a unique position in the cybersecurity market by becoming the first runtime hypervisor security platform. After initially focusing on Linux server protection, the company made a strategic pivot based on direct customer feedback and input from their CISO advisory board.

    Why 99% of Cybersecurity Marketers Are Doing Demand Gen Wrong

    In this episode of The Marketing Front Lines, we speak with Anthony (Tony) Lombardo, VP of Marketing at ThreatModeler Software. Tony brings a unique engineering-to-marketing background to cybersecurity demand generation, where he's discovered that most companies are confusing demand capture with true demand generation. In a noisy cybersecurity market where every vendor sounds identical, Tony has developed a systematic approach to standing out through customer research, market studies, and thought leadership that actually educates rather than just amplifies. His framework challenges conventional wisdom about paid search, content syndication, and the timeline for measuring true demand generation success. Topics Discussed: The critical difference between demand generation and demand capture Why cybersecurity marketing has become an echo chamber and how to break through Building thought leadership content that buyers actually want to consume Using market research and customer interviews to identify content opportunities The real ROI timeline for content syndication (12+ months) When paid search actually works in B2B cybersecurity sales Framework for the first 90 days at a new marketing role   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
