Intent data can be a game changer in the security market, especially for manufacturers and vendors of physical security products. It reveals which companies are actively researching or considering security solutions, allowing vendors to proactively engage with potential buyers before competitors even know they’re in the market.
Intent data is collected from responses to email advertising, website visits, reading newsletters, or blogs.
This article describes how Intent data improves company direction in marketing, sales, production control, and product development.
Example: A school district researching “access control systems” or “visitor management tools” triggers intent signals.
How it helps: Security vendors can prioritize outreach to organizations showing real-time interest.
Benefit: Focus on leads that are likely to convert.
Target Campaigns to Specific Security Interests
Using Intent Data
Example: If a manufacturer sees a segment of companies researching “IP camera systems” or “AI-powered surveillance,” they can create targeted ads or email campaigns for those topics.

Benefit: Higher engagement means better ROI on marketing spending.
