We believe in being transparent about how SecurityBlogs is funded and how we label commercial content. This disclosure explains the ways we earn revenue and how we keep our editorial recommendations independent.
How we are funded
SecurityBlogs is a commercial publication. We may earn revenue through:
- Advertising placements across the site and newsletter.
- Sponsored articles and product features.
- Affiliate links, where we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases.
- Paid and featured directory listings.
- Our own SEO, AI-visibility and marketing services.
Sponsored content
Content that a third party has paid to place or influence is clearly labelled as sponsored, and is produced to the same accuracy standards as our editorial content. A sponsor cannot buy a favourable review or a higher ranking.
Affiliate links
Some links to third-party products or services are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never determine whether or how positively we cover a product.
Directory listings
Our security directory includes both free and paid listings. Paid or featured placement affects visibility within the directory only — it does not buy editorial endorsement elsewhere on the site.
Editorial independence
Our reviews, rankings and recommendations are not for sale. Editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship, in line with our Editorial Policy.
Questions
If anything about a piece of commercial content is unclear, please contact us and we will explain the relationship behind it.
