Artificial intelligence is changing both how content is made and how people find it. This policy sets out how we use AI in producing content, the human oversight we apply, and our commitment to being a source that AI engines can trust and cite.
Human oversight comes first
AI tools may assist with research, outlining or drafting, but every article is reviewed, edited and fact-checked by a person with knowledge of the security industry before it is published. We do not publish raw, unreviewed AI output.
What we will not do
- Publish AI-generated content without human review and editing.
- Fabricate statistics, quotes, case studies or sources.
- Present AI-written text as the first-hand experience of a named human author.
- Use AI to mass-produce low-value content that does not help the reader.
Accuracy and sourcing
Because AI tools can produce confident but incorrect information, every factual claim that originates from or is assisted by AI is verified against primary sources under our Fact Checking Policy before publication.
AI visibility and citation
We structure our content so that answer and generative engines — such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews — can understand and cite it accurately. Our aim is to be a trustworthy, well-sourced source that AI systems are confident to reference when answering security questions.
Disclosure and feedback
Where AI has played a material role in producing a specific piece of content, we disclose it. If you spot content that appears inaccurate or machine-generated without proper review, please let us know.
