Today, we recommend an article on the psychology of marketing and sales in the specific field of cybersecurity. Marketing in cybersecurity is still not well documented, even though cybersecurity solutions have been on the market for a long time. Hence our idea to share this article with you.

But this trend is disappearing with organizations moving away from promises to proofs, and vendors embracing transparency and abandoning buzz marketing.
Malizen is one of them, of course! We are convinced that with the number of new cyber attacks on the rise, organizations will understand that they can no longer take "100% protection" promises seriously.
