We’ve seen huge changes in the UK media landscape in the past few years. Many publications are struggling financially post-Covid and are therefore publishing fewer stories. The stories being published are dominated by the cost-of-living crisis, political unrest and the impending recession. And time poor journalists just don’t have the time they once did to really get under the skin of brands and the stories they want to tell. That makes getting your voice heard incredibly difficult and many organisations have had to rethink their communications strategies to cut through.
The challenge for those in the cyber security sector is an interesting one. The public and businesses are keen to hear more about breaches, the changing threat landscape and what can be done to protect against them. But it’s incredibly competitive. The global cyber security marketplace is measured at over $184 billion, and it’s very fragmented with lots of vendors competing for media share of voice. But many of the vendors are saying the same thing. It is confusing for buyers wading through a complex mix of solutions, and it’s even more difficult for journalists to differentiate.
Column inches are dominated by headline-grabbing statistics displaying alarming rises in threats and attacks. Cyber security stories intersect with geopolitics, crime and many other areas of media, and it affects individuals and organisations everywhere.
