Shaun Blackburn, Deputy CISO, Gemini

“You need to show potential customers why they should trust and adopt your solutions. A great way to do this is by contributing to the close-knit security engineering community through open source software, free tools, blog posts sharing useful expertise, educational webinars, or consultations. This can help you build trust and credibility, generate interest and awareness, collect feedback and data, and convert leads into customers. The easiest customers to attract and retain are the ones who sought you out based on value they were already receiving."
