- Understand customer threat exposure, security architecture, operational maturity and desired outcomes.
- Identify gaps in customer telemetry, tooling, people and response processes that we can credibly address.
- Translate customer needs into solution recommendations, technical scope and measurable evaluation criteria.
- Establish technical fit, dependencies and limitations early to give customers and sales colleagues a realistic view of what is achievable.
- Develop detailed knowledge of HAPTAI and ACE, including use cases, technical requirements, deployment considerations and limitations.
- Explain where each offering applies, how they relate, and when a combined approach is appropriate.
- Build customer-specific demonstrations and technical narratives that connect product capabilities with operational needs.
- Validate claims about interoperability, integrations and expected outcomes with product and delivery specialists.
- Feed customer requirements, objections and evaluation findings into product development and positioning.
- Support the design and delivery of demonstrations, workshops and proofs of value grounded in realistic customer scenarios.
- Agree success criteria before evaluations begin, including the evidence needed to demonstrate technical and operational value.
- Explain findings clearly, distinguishing demonstrated results from assumptions and capabilities requiring further validation.
- Own technical objections and competitive discussions with accuracy, confidence and sound judgement.
- Develop reusable demonstration assets, technical explanations and reference scenarios that strengthen the sales teams capability.
- Explain the distinctions and relationships between penetration testing, red teaming, purple teaming and our black teaming approach.
- Discuss how Living off the Land and modern adversary tradecraft challenge detection, investigation and response.
- Connect threat intelligence and adversary techniques to relevant customer scenarios rather than generic attack demonstrations.
- Help customers understand how assessments or simulations can generate evidence about control effectiveness and inform practical improvements.
- Work with delivery specialists to ensure proposed engagements have clear objectives, appropriate scope and achievable outcomes.
