If nothing else, remember this
Each communication should feel like part of a cohesive story — considered, connected and deliberately placed. Find the balance between writing as concisely as possible and being specific about what the reader should take away or do next.
We speak like real humans and communicate in a professional, conversational tone. Like a trusted friend, we are authentic, approachable and real. We genuinely care about helping people with cybersecurity challenges.
