[01] The Audience
140K+ security contacts. Zero patience for fear-based pitches.
Security and dev-tools buyers are the most technical, most skeptical audience in B2B - they've lived through a breach news cycle of fear-based pitches and they ignore anything that reads as marketing fluff. Procurement gatekeeping also splits the economic buyer from the technical evaluator, so a generic list rarely reaches the right person twice. Ken qualifies each company against your ICP with AI and filters on tech stack, on top of 140K+ security contacts (and 2.3M+ across software), then personalizes every email with the specificity this audience actually respects.

[02] Buying Signals
Signals Ken Can Actually Prove
This audience distrusts guesswork. Ken acts on real engagement and scores real fit - nothing else.
Multi-click intent on security whitepapers and SOC2 pages
A security lead who clicks your docs or demo link more than once is showing real intent. Ken flags it and can fire the next touch automatically or route the reply to you.
Re-engage quiet security buyers
An engineering lead who engaged and then went quiet gets picked back up. Ken watches for clicks that stop and re-approaches with a different angle before the thread goes cold.
Sort Cybersecurity & Dev Tools replies the moment they land
Every reply is classified the moment it lands - interested, not interested, or out of office - and routed or handled automatically, so real conversations reach you and the noise does not.
Qualified to Stack and Posture
'Fintech companies with 200+ employees and no listed CISO' or 'companies running Kubernetes at scale' isn't a dropdown filter anywhere else. Ken's AI reads each company's site, team page, and tech footprint and scores it against your exact criteria.
[03] Why Ken
Built for the most skeptical technical buyer in B2B
AI QUALIFICATION
Filter on the compliance and stack details that matter here.
“Companies in healthcare with 200+ employees and no listed CISO” isn't a filter any generic tool offers. Ken's AI reads each company's site and team page and scores it against your actual ICP - our clients report under 10% unqualified leads.
AI PERSONALIZATION
Credibility over urgency, every time.
This audience distrusts fear-based pitches and rewards specificity. Ken writes from real prospect data - stack signals, team structure, compliance posture - inside human-written frameworks. In our 500k-email study, Ken personalization lifted engagement 127% while generic AI copy dropped it 25%.
EMAIL + LINKEDIN
Land in inboxes guarded by the tightest spam filters in tech.
Security teams run the strictest email defenses of any buyer. Ken sends on proprietary SMTP with warm IPs and pre-checks every email against a replica of Gmail's spam algorithm. Moving clients onto our infrastructure took inbox placement from 32% to 89%. Multichannel sequences can add LinkedIn connection requests and messages on seats included with your plan.
