Advertise with HackedWire
Reach the people who defend systems. Clearly labeled placements, a hard wall between sponsors and the newsroom.
Audience
HackedWire serves security professionals, executives, researchers, IT teams, business owners, and informed consumers. Launch audience: verified audience metrics will be published after launch. We do not invent readership numbers — advertisers get real, auditable figures or none at all.
Inventory
- Homepage placements — clearly labeled sponsored slots, separated from editorial content. Available at launch.
- Section sponsorships — sponsor a desk (e.g. Vulnerability Watch) with persistent labeled branding. Available at launch.
- Newsletter sponsorship — a labeled sponsorship block in the HackedWire Brief. Available at launch.
Policies
- All paid placements are clearly labeled as sponsored and visually separated from reporting.
- No pay-for-positive-coverage. Advertising buys placement, never praise: sponsors cannot purchase favorable reporting, suppress coverage, or review stories before publication.
- Full disclosure: advertising disclosure.
Who we work with
Security software companies, infrastructure providers, consultancies, professional education, conferences, cyber-insurance providers, and enterprise technology firms whose offerings are relevant to a security audience.
