Write for Us Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most cybersecurity pitches are lists of threats: phishing is rising, ransomware is rising too, passwords are weak. They scare a small business owner and leave them with nothing to do. What this blog wants instead is the practical side: what one business changed, what it took in hours, and what it stopped.

My readers are business owners and marketers, not security teams. They run the website, the email list, the CRM and the ad accounts, and they are the people who get phished. They read this blog for plain English methods, so a security post has to be something a ten person business could act on without hiring anyone.

60-second cybersecurity guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you handled the incident or run the rollout you are describing
• Do you have a result: time to recover, accounts secured, incidents avoided
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for a product or a service
• Could a business with no IT team act on it this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• What a small business did in its first 30 days of taking security seriously
• A phishing or account takeover incident and what it taught the team
• Securing WordPress, email or social accounts, step by step
• Password managers and multi factor rollouts that staff did use
• Using AI safely at work: what staff may paste into a chatbot and what they may not
• Backups and recovery tested for real, with the time it took to restore
• Security questions a small business should ask its agency or freelancers
• Privacy and data handling for a marketing team

If your post could be published on any cybersecurity site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Fear based posts with no practical step for the reader
• Posts that promote one VPN, scanner, antivirus or service
• Hacking tutorials or anything that helps an attacker
• Previously published posts republished from another site
• Thin content under 800 words with no real incident or rollout behind it

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong cybersecurity pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why cybersecurity is important for small businesses." A strong one says "A client's Facebook ad account was taken over on a Friday night and it took us 11 days to get it back, and I want to write the checklist that would have cut that to one." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• An incident told plainly, with what you would do differently
• A rollout staff did follow, and why
• A recovery you tested, with the time it took
• A checklist a non technical owner could run this week
• A contrarian view on a common piece of security advice

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept cybersecurity guest posts?

Yes. Cybersecurity guest posts are welcome from a security engineer, IT manager, consultant, vCISO or founders and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline fear based posts with no practical step.

What cybersecurity topics do you accept?

We accept first steps for small businesses, account takeover and phishing lessons, securing WordPress and marketing accounts, password and multi factor rollouts, safe use of AI at work, backups tested for real, and data handling for marketing teams. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of cybersecurity.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a cybersecurity guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a cybersecurity guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a cybersecurity pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: A client's Facebook ad account was taken over on a Friday night and it took us 11 days to get it back, and I want to write the checklist that would have cut that to one.
