Dark Reading’s Guide to Writing: How to Avoid a Cybersecurity Slice and Dice

Dark Reading Commentary is evolving to include Tech Talks and Ask the Expert articles, focusing on practical cybersecurity tips and peer advice. Think less “what does this technology do” and more “here’s how to wield it like a pro.” Just remember, no AI-written submissions—our editors still prefer their content like their coffee: human-brewed.

Hot Take:

Dark Reading has turned into the Oprah of the cybersecurity world: “You get an opinion! And you get an opinion!” They’re looking for more thought leaders than a TED Talk convention and more expert advice than a self-help book section. But hey, at least they’re keeping AI-generated content at bay — no robot overlords in this cyber realm!

Key Points:

  • Dark Reading is focusing on opinion pieces with two main types: Tech Talks and Ask the Expert.
  • Tech Talks delve into practical applications of cybersecurity technologies.
  • Ask the Expert provides deep dives into specific cybersecurity problems with actionable advice.
  • No AI-generated content allowed; all submissions must be original work.
  • Submissions should be clear, specific, and offer practical takeaways, with a word limit of 700-800 words.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
