Episode Summary:

We’re back from RSAC Conference 2025, and what a week it was! Gianna and Maria recap their third RSAC Conference rodeo in style in this live-recorded, post-conference edition of Breaking Through in Cybersecurity Marketing.

We break down the boldest, weirdest, and most wonderful marketing moments from the show floor (and the streets of San Francisco), including:

CrowdStrike’s genius geo-targeted Uber ads

Sweet Security’s literal singing swag truck

Wiz’s cloud security toy store (!!)

And Rubrik’s nostalgic retro arcade booth

We also launched something big: The Cybersecurity Marketing Practice, our brand-new advisory service for cyber founders and venture capitalists (VCs). We threw a sold-out marketer party, handed out coloring books at the Marketer Oasis, and supported early-stage startups through the AWS Cyber Accelerator.
