Before jumping into the details, I want to make it clear that, for me, it is of paramount importance for sponsorships not to impact the quality or unbiased nature of CloudSecList negatively.

I generally do not endorse companies or products. CloudSecList's purpose is to highlight security-related news focused on the cloud-native landscape and help people stay updated with this corner of the security scenario. Content is included in the newsletter exclusively based on its technical merits and usefulness to readers.

What Does Sponsorship Look Like

You can include a brief blurb (400-600 characters) about your company, product, event, or job opening.

The blurb will be placed in a clearly demarcated section, and will be included in the following:

1. The newsletter sent to CloudSecList subscribers.
2. The corresponding post on cloudseclist.com (available from the Past Issues page).

You can look at what this will look like by browsing the Past Issues.

Currently, there are two sponsor slots available per issue.

What Sort of Engagement Should You Expect?

Subscribers vary from hands-on security professionals working as security engineers or SOC analysts, to security managers, heads of, as well as CISOs, CSOs, security founders, senior leaders, and VCs.

Overall, readers come from different backgrounds and are distributed across the globe. The companies represented are fairly diverse as well, from small start-ups to Fortune500 and FAANG companies, in industries ranging from tech, to healthcare, finance, and government.

In addition, industry experts of the calibre of Jason Chan and Scott Piper personally recommend CloudSecList (see more in the Testimonials section below).

Stats

Get Started

The process is quite straightforward:

Upcoming Reservations

"Which is the 'optimum' week to book?" This varies on each company's preference. For example, some companies decide to book in correspondence with the release of a new product or the weeks before an event they host. So that depends on the content you choose to promote. That said, I typically see a pattern of companies booking one slot per month for at least two consecutive quarters.

Terms and Conditions

Privacy

CloudSecList takes the privacy of readers very seriously. There is a conscious effort NOT to collect additional information about the CloudSecList readership outside of an email address (which, of course, will NOT be shared with advertisers, ever). In addition, CloudSecList does not track individual open and click rates, but only the global (and anonymised) ones.

For more information, you can refer to CloudSecList's Privacy Policy

Integrity and Unbiased View

Sponsoring an issue does not give any influence on the rest of the newsletter.

A competitor's tool, blog post, or talk may be referenced in the issue you sponsor. Similarly, an article that negatively covers your company or product may be included in the issue you sponsor.

Ad Timing

The newsletter is typically sent on Sundays. There may be weeks where the newsletter is sent earlier or later due to life circumstances, travel, or timezone differences, but this is the exception, not the rule.

It should be noted that each CloudSecList issue is hand-crafted by Marco Lancini. In case of illness or incapacitation to send out the newsletter on an agreed-upon date, the Customer will be offered the next available slot in its place, free of charge.

Ad Format

You can include a brief blurb (400-600 characters) about your company, product, event, or job opening.

The blurb will be placed in a clearly demarcated section (the yellow sponsor box). The naming "Sponsor" at the top of the sponsor box is agnostic of the actual sponsor and is used for consistency and fairness to the readers.

Right to refuse sponsorship

CloudSecList reserves the right to refuse sponsorship requests for any reason.
