Cyber Rebels occasionally welcomes contributions from external writers, professionals and organisations who have something genuinely useful to share about cybersecurity, digital risk and online safety.

We are selective about what we publish. Every contribution must be relevant to our field, reflect our human-first approach and offer something of value to the people who read it.

Please read this before contacting us. We do not accept general guest posts, unrelated articles, paid backlink placements or content submitted simply to improve another website’s search rankings. Generic outreach emails and proposals that do not meet our requirements will not receive a response.

Is your article right for Cyber Rebels?

We consider guest contributions against three essential requirements.

1. Direct relevance to cybersecurity and digital risk

Your article must have a clear and meaningful connection to cybersecurity, online safety, data protection, digital responsibility or organisational resilience.

Being broadly about business, technology, education or artificial intelligence is not enough. The contribution must explain how the subject connects to the digital risks, responsibilities or decisions our readers face.

2. A genuinely human-first perspective

Cyber Rebels believes that cybersecurity needs to be understood in the context of real people, real work and the conditions in which decisions are made.

We value writing that explores why people act as they do, the pressures they experience and how technology, processes, responsibilities and organisational expectations influence their decisions.

We do not publish content that treats people as the problem, relies on fear or reduces cybersecurity to blaming individuals for mistakes. You can learn more about our approach in What Is Human-First Cybersecurity?.

3. Original expertise and practical value

A contribution should bring something worthwhile to the discussion. That might be professional experience, a well-supported argument, original research, informed analysis or a practical explanation that helps readers understand a problem more clearly.

We are not looking for articles that repeat familiar cybersecurity advice with slightly different wording.

If your proposed article cannot meet all three requirements, it is unlikely to be suitable for Cyber Rebels.

The subjects we consider

Our editorial interests include cybersecurity behaviour, social engineering, fraud prevention, online safety, data protection, safeguarding, digital technology in the workplace, cyber governance and organisational resilience.

We are particularly interested in contributions that connect these subjects to everyday decisions, working environments and the responsibilities people carry.

For example, an article about artificial intelligence might examine the challenges of checking AI-generated information before using it in a professional decision. A contribution about data protection might explore the practical difficulties staff face when handling information across different systems or organisations.

The subject does not need to be complicated or highly technical. It needs to be relevant, well understood and useful to our audience.

We also welcome informed perspectives from education, safeguarding, management, legal practice and other professional fields where they make a meaningful contribution to understanding cybersecurity or digital risk.

What we do not publish

Cyber Rebels is not an open guest-blogging platform. We will not consider:

• Unrelated articles about general business, lifestyle, travel, finance, cryptocurrency investment or technology without a meaningful cybersecurity connection.

• Mass-produced, duplicated, recycled or generic AI-generated content with no substantive original expertise or editorial judgement.

• Articles created primarily for backlinks, search engine manipulation, link exchanges or promotional placement.

• Thin listicles, recycled security tips or articles that offer little explanation beyond familiar advice.

• Fear-based, sensationalist or blame-driven cybersecurity content that misrepresents people or exaggerates risk.

• Hidden advertising, misleading authorship, unsupported claims or promotional material disguised as independent advice.

We do not provide paid dofollow link placements, and we do not accept requests to insert unrelated commercial links into existing articles.

Offering payment does not change these requirements.

Accuracy, authorship and editorial responsibility

Cybersecurity is a subject where readers need to be able to trust what they are being told.

Contributions must be accurate, original and supported by appropriate evidence. Where articles contain statistics, legal interpretations, regulatory requirements or technical claims, reliable sources must be provided and relevant limitations acknowledged.

Content dealing with legislation, data protection, safeguarding or professional obligations should reflect the UK context unless another jurisdiction is clearly identified.

We accept contributions from identifiable authors with relevant expertise or experience. Contributors must provide their real name, professional background, a short biography and a LinkedIn profile or equivalent professional reference.

Any agency involvement, third-party authorship, commercial interest or sponsorship must be disclosed before editorial consideration.

Cyber Rebels retains full editorial control over everything published on our website. We may request revisions, edit or remove links, amend content or decline a contribution where it does not meet our standards.

Paid and sponsored contributions

We may consider commercial contributions where there is a genuine editorial fit, the commercial relationship is transparent and the article provides independent value to our audience.

However, payment does not guarantee acceptance, publication, endorsement or a backlink.

Sponsored material must be clearly identified, and commercial links will be treated in accordance with applicable search engine guidance. We reserve the right to remove links or decline publication entirely.

We do not sell editorial credibility or allow a commercial relationship to determine what readers are told.

How to propose an article

If you believe you have something genuinely relevant to contribute, please send a short proposal before preparing or submitting a complete article.

Your initial enquiry should explain the proposed subject, the main point you want to make and why it belongs on Cyber Rebels. We also need to understand what our readers would gain from the article, how it reflects our human-first approach and what relevant expertise you bring.

Please identify the proposed author, include a professional profile and disclose any commercial interests, sponsorship or external links you would like us to consider.

We do not review unsolicited completed articles submitted without a prior proposal.

A note to guest-post agencies and outreach services

Please do not contact us with generic guest-post availability enquiries, domain authority requests, bulk article offers, backlink packages or proposed content that has no direct connection to our editorial focus.

We receive a significant volume of these enquiries and do not respond to submissions that disregard the requirements on this page.

Good contributions are always worth considering

We are open to external perspectives because useful knowledge and experience exist well beyond the cybersecurity industry.

A professional working in education, a business owner dealing with digital responsibilities or someone involved in safeguarding may have insights that help our readers understand cybersecurity in a different way.

What matters is the connection to our field, the quality of the thinking and the value of the contribution.

If you have a relevant, well-informed and genuinely human-first perspective to share, we are happy to consider it.
