144 CISOs in the room. 46 opportunities. $11.5M of pipeline. One year, four JAPAC markets.

Projected, on our conversion math. You host. We fill the rooms with CISOs and Heads of Security at 1,000+ employee companies in Singapore, Malaysia, India and Indonesia.

We build the named list, run the outreach, book the 1-on-1s and track every deal in your CRM. $10K a month. Named CISOs in front of you from month one.

Your Q2 post says more AI means more security. That is the room: securing AI adoption, with CISOs who are living it.

Why now: your Q2, in your own numbers

$333M
Q2 net new ARR, up 51% YoY, best quarter in company history
$5.84B
Ending ARR, growth accelerating to 25%+
$2.29B
Falcon Flex ending ARR, up 101% YoY
$100M+
FY27 net new ARR guidance raised since the start of the year

Q2 was your best quarter ever. JAPAC's share comes from enterprise logos that have not met you yet. Flex added more new accounts in Q2 than the prior three quarters combined, so the first deal is the floor.

The program at a glance

What you get

Target list. Named CISOs and Heads of Security at large enterprises, by market.

The access. Small, senior, in-person rooms co-led by CrowdStrike and NO BS.

Meetings. Qualified 1-on-1s, tracked by name and stage in your CRM.

Reporting. A live dashboard, plus weekly progress meetings.

Why it works

Warm start. 30 meetings with AI founders and CTOs for ByteDance's BytePlus in 3 months, 5 to POC.

The model. Give before you take: senior access peers can't reach alone.

Conversion. 70% of participants to 1-on-1s; 40% of those to CRM opportunities.

Scale. ~7,600 senior security buyers across four markets.

Why it's low risk

Cost. $10K per month for twelve months.

Payback. Seven projected new logos, ~$1.75M signed ACV, before expansion.

Phased. Singapore and Malaysia first, then India and Indonesia once proven.

Transparent. Every name, stage and week visible.

Recommended next step: 60 minutes to shape the program around your priority accounts, the Next-Gen SIEM and SOC migration push and your FY27 plan. Email us at yuri@nobs.asia to set up a meeting.

Growth is accelerating. Senior CISO access in JAPAC is still earned one room at a time.

Net new ARR is up 51% globally. JAPAC keeps pace by landing enterprise logos, and the CISOs who sign them do not answer cold sequences.

You set the tone in February: #SpeedMatters. The fastest pipeline is the one that starts in a room.

Why are these rooms hard to reach?

Every security vendor wants the same CISO

Platform and consolidation pitches land on the same CISOs every week. Another demo does not land. A peer conversation on securing AI does.

SIEM and SOC moves are trust decisions

Replacing a SIEM or rebuilding a SOC is a multi-year bet. CISOs ask peers they trust before they ask vendors.

New team, new pipeline needed

Five leadership appointments since February set up FY27. Four markets, each needing local networks and weekly outbound discipline. Pipeline for the team to sell into has to come from somewhere.

The security platform decision is made in rooms cold outreach rarely enters. Convening and converting those CISO rooms is what we do, alongside your GTM team.

Give before you take.

Behind every senior enterprise security platform deal that closes in this region is a high-level peer-to-peer relationship. You can't build that relationship by making asks, you need to offer something of value first.

1

Spearfish in a small elite pond, not hit-and-hope

Decision making in APAC is top heavy. A dozen of the right people in an intimate setting beats a thousand badge scans.

2

Reach out like a peer

A real message from a real peer, about something they care about. Not InMail, not AI-slop emails, definitely not cold calls.

3

Ride CrowdStrike's own momentum

Next-Gen SIEM and SOC migration, Falcon Flex, the secure-AI wave and new launches are built-in credibility. Time the room around them, and the invite carries CrowdStrike's own momentum, not a cold ask.

4

Offer something they want, not something you want to give

A real conversation on real issues with real peers. Not whitepapers, webinars or demos.

5

Share your point of view

Project credibility through your point of view, told through stories, experience and insight. No slide decks.

6

Earn the 1-on-1, never demand it

You've built credibility, authority and goodwill before your ask. The follow-up is more organic and more to-the-point because they already know and respect your point of view.

→
The ask doesn't feel heavy. People agree to a follow-up meeting because they appreciate your authentic and credible point of view and want to continue the conversation.

This isn't theoretical. We convene the exact senior rooms, then convert them.

Our playbook is seat-agnostic: convene the senior people you need to reach into a room they actually want to be in, then convert. Here is that motion working across clients, industries and geographies, including with AI founders and CTOs on a technical product. It is the same motion we would run for CrowdStrike with CISOs and Heads of Security.

Proof point

ByteDance: outbound to AI founders and CTOs

Who we did it for: ByteDance's BytePlus AI product. A direct, peer-to-peer outbound motion, no event, straight into the calendars of founders, CEOs and CTOs at AI and technology companies.

The ICP in the room: technical senior buyers on a technology platform. 30 meetings in 3 months, 5 progressing to POC.

Why it maps to CrowdStrike: same motion, same kind of buyer. Peer-to-peer outreach to senior technical leaders on a platform, converted to real pipeline. It is the play we would run to open CrowdStrike pipeline with CISOs across four markets.

This is the senior security market that decides the platform. We don't spray and pray. We work it in sequence, senior first, market by market and account by account.

Methodology. LinkedIn Sales Navigator, October 2026. Each number counts people who currently hold one of twelve titles, based in that country, at companies with 1,001+ employees: CISO, Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Security Officer, Head of Information Security, Head of Cyber Security, Head of Cybersecurity, Head of Security, Director Information Security, Director Cybersecurity, VP Information Security, Head of Security Operations, Director Security Operations. It counts the seat, not anyone whose profile mentions security. India is shown at LinkedIn's display cap (5.5K+), so it is a floor. Counts are indicative and profile-weighted, not a census. Named, de-duplicated target lists are built on kickoff.

Sequence. Singapore (923) and Malaysia (473) first, the closest markets for in-person rooms. India and Indonesia follow, each as its own track.

Where we'd start, and how fast.

About 7,600 senior security buyers across four markets. Here is the sequence.

How we'd phase it across 12 months

Phase 1 (0-3 months): Singapore and Malaysia, the 1,396 buyers closest to your team and easiest to convene in person.

Phase 2 (3-6 months): Kick off Indonesia (723) and India (5.5K+), each as its own track.

Phase 3 (6-12 months): Deepen every market as results land, tied to the Next-Gen SIEM and SOC migration conversation.

Within each phase, the motion:

  1. Find the right peopleBuild the named target list from the ICP: the exact CISOs and Heads of Security worth a room, by market.
  2. Reach out like a peerReal messages from real people to the few who matter, not a sequence tool running on its own.
  3. Convene the roomSmall, senior, co-hosted sessions on running a modern SOC and consolidating security platforms, the kind of room they actually want to be in.
  4. Earn the 1-on-1Every room converts into named 1-on-1s, and we sit in every meeting that matters.
  5. Live trackingDashboards on activity, conversion and deal progression in your CRM, so you always see the pipeline.
  6. Weekly updates with usA standing weekly check-in where we walk the numbers together and agree the next moves.
Quick results, run by operators, fully accountable. Every name, number and stage is visible in real time, so you always know what's working. A disciplined, data-driven motion, not a black box.

What the program is worth, in your terms.

NO BS takes full accountability for the top of this funnel. The defaults below reflect what we typically see, but move the sliders to your own numbers to get a real view of what this NO BS x CrowdStrike collaboration could produce.

Signed annual contract value
$10K a month, annual ACV. On the default numbers, the seven projected new logos are about $1.75M in signed annual contract value, roughly 14.6× the $120k first-year fee. One signed deal at $250K pays the year twice over. Flex ARR is up 101% YoY, with more new Flex accounts in Q2 than the prior three quarters combined (your Q2 post), so the first deal is the floor.

Default sliders reflect our working estimate over 12 months: 18 rooms × 8 senior buyers is about 144 reached, 80% to a real 1-on-1 (115), 40% of those to a sales opportunity (46), about a 15% win rate on close (7). At a $250,000 average ACV that is $11.5M in pipeline and $1.75M of signed annual contract value, roughly 14.6× the $120k in first-year fees, before any account expansion. Move the sliders to your own numbers.
