Hi {{first_name}},
When you are the person responsible for security at a company like {{company_name}}, the to-do list never ends. Log reviews, vulnerability scans, patch management, access audits — and that is before anything actually goes wrong.
I work with security engineers and IT specialists at smaller companies who want to automate the grind. Our platform handles continuous vulnerability scanning, automated patch prioritization, and real-time alerting — all through a single dashboard that takes about 30 minutes to set up.
It integrates with the tools you are probably already using. Would you be open to taking a quick look, {{first_name}}? 6-9% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Check their GitHub or personal blog for technical interests and security specializations
- Reference specific tools in their tech stack visible from job postings or their LinkedIn
- Mention any certifications they hold like OSCP or CEH to speak their language
- Note if they have written about or shared content on specific security topics
When to Use
When reaching out to hands-on security practitioners or IT generalists at small companies who are doing security work alongside other duties.
When NOT to Use
When the IC has no decision-making influence — verify they can at least champion a tool internally before reaching out.
