CloudSecList reaches the cloud security decision-makers at the companies that matter: the engineers evaluating your product, the architects specifying vendor requirements, and the leaders with budget authority.
Unlike general security newsletters covering hundreds of disparate topics, CloudSecList is exclusively focused on cloud security. Every subscriber chose this newsletter specifically for cloud security content. When you sponsor, you're reaching prospects actively seeking solutions in your space, not a diluted audience skimming past your message.
By sponsoring CloudSecList, you can showcase your brand and offerings to professionals who prioritize continuous learning and have a significant cloud presence. With comprehensive coverage of tools, major cloud provider updates, technical tutorials, and service releases, CloudSecList is a clutch resource for those seeking to stay ahead in Cloud Security.

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 anonymized) ones.
For more information, you can refer to CloudSecList's Privacy Policy.
Integrity and Unbiased View
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 aims 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.
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.
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, and will be included in the following:
- The newsletter sent to CloudSecList subscribers.
- The related post on cloudseclist.com (available from the Past Issues page).
