What the outlook covers
The ANZ Cybersecurity GTM Outlook is written for the leaders selling security products and services, rather than the people buying it.
1. Regulatory enforcement as opportunity
Phase 2 of the Cyber Security Act 2024, APRA CPS 230 and 234, ASIC’s 26-092MR expectations, and New Zealand’s shift to criminal penalties. The outlook pairs each one with the campaign entry point it creates.
2. Four verticals where specialisation wins
Healthcare, BFSI, mining and energy, and the New Zealand public sector. Each one responds to different buyer language. Horizontal messaging won’t cut through for any of them.
3. The AI paradox reshaping security
Attacks run at machine speed. Governance runs at human pace. Why data strategy debt and non-human identity are go-to-market openings as much as technical problems.
4. Productised GTM plays
Ready-to-run campaign structures with ICP, high-intent trigger, deliverables and outcome. Each one registers early buyer interest instead of trying to sell a multi-year transformation programme.
