Triggers mapped to what Cybersecurity sells.

Security and compliance, where timing is everything. The reason an account must act, with the deadline.

For cybersecurity, The Catalyst maps 80 atomic triggers to security offerings and derives why an account must act now.

The problem, and the difference

Security spend follows pressure (an incident, an audit finding, a deadline) but generic intent cannot tell a genuine deadline from noise.

How it’s solved today

You work a static list and reach accounts with no live pressure, while the breached account three doors down talks to a competitor.

How Zylabs does it

Hunt surfaces the account the moment the pressure is real: a disclosed breach, a CVE in their own product, a compliance clock, a CISO hire.

Timing is everything, and you are usually late.

How it’s solved today

You hear about the incident in the news cycle, after the budget has been pointed at whoever called first.

How Zylabs does it

Hunt catches the 8-K disclosure or the audit finding as it lands, so you are the first conversation, with the deadline named.

You pitch capabilities instead of the specific exposure.

How it’s solved today

You lead with your platform breadth, the same as every vendor in the bake-off.

How Zylabs does it

Intel pins the exposure (legacy AV still in use, no SAST behind AI coding tools) so you lead with their gap.

Why it matters

Security spend follows pressure: an incident, an audit finding, a compliance deadline, a CISO hire. These triggers are observable, but generic intent cannot tell a genuine deadline from background noise.
