The 14-week Rebrand That Disrupted The $152 Billion Cybersecurity Industry

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Xcitium, an incredible cybersecurity industry rebrand, in an article:

In 1936, Alan Turing, the father of computing, wrote a paper largely ignored by the cybersecurity industry (while being embraced by the perpetrators of malware and ransomware, a multi-billion dollar industry).

Fact: In 2021 alone, 66% of organizations globally were the victims of ransomware attacks. This vulnerability results from the “malware solutions” used by companies today.

This results in hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities. And billions in financial loss.

So when COMODO came to us with a revolutionary patented technology with an unmatched track record for zero breaches, it was time to rebrand itself for two key reasons:

  • The COMODO company and brand had some old baggage, and
  • It was pigeonholed in a specific niche that would take a lot of work to pivot from.

So, we first started with the fact from that paper written in 1936 that everyone managed to ignore: until malware executes, it can continue undetected in stealth mode indefinitely.

You can read the full article here.

This project is one of several examples covered in the Art of Differentiation Masterclass — a complete framework for how brand differentiation works across industries, budgets, and timelines.

NOBODY IN THE CYBERSECURITY INDUSTRY THOUGHT THIS REBRAND WAS POSSIBLE

That article was published BEFORE the live event last week in Las Vegas.

And this rebrand was done at the speed of a Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a 0 to 60 mph time of about 2.0 seconds (the fastest production car in the world).

Don’t believe me? See for yourself:

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A successful rebrand is as much about what you don’t do as what you choose to do.

  • You don’t need a committee and layers of approval processes that slow things down.
  • You don’t need an overpriced agency with too many people “tending to your account.”
  • You don’t need a roomful of suits talking “marketing lingo” that nobody understands and even less cares about.

We did this with a small, competent group of ninjas that unearthed a story everyone else ignored. And a look and feel that CRUSHED expectations.

Watch the video. It tells you all you need to know. Want to know more? Read the full rebranding article here.

STOP GUESSING. MOVE INTO THE PASSING LANE (IN A TESLA MODEL S PLAID)

A rebranding is a complex and nuanced undertaking that can impact your company. A great rebrand multiplies your input, so the return is amazing.

As you consider a potential rebrand, be sure to consider all of the factors I’ve outlined.
