Cyber Security Awareness Campaign - Thought Leadership

BOCA Communications is proud of the recent thought leadership initiatives we spearheaded for Narus (www.narus.com) around a national trend: National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October.

Narus partnered with Converge Network Digest (www.convergedigest.com ) and GSN: Government Security News (www.gsnmagazine.com ) to create a survey that queried a cross-section of security professionals in a variety of industries. Using their audience as well as Narus clients we acquired opinions about security in relation to government entities and the telecom sector.

The findings were compelling. An astounding 71 percent of respondents are concerned that their company is not equipped to protect itself from cyber-attacks and approximately 88 percent think the government is not equipped to protect itself thus proving that security is a popular concern.

Upon completion of the survey, we packaged the results into a formal report and linked all our outbound communication to National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
BOCA used a blend of old fashion and social PR mediums to communicate the results to pundits that matter. We developed a dedicated landing page that highlighted the survey findings, leveraged Twitter and Facebook and also incorporated an old school mail out campaign complete with USB drives that housed the Cyber Security report, press release and letter from Narus marketing. The outcome was a success.
