## What is CyberAdX?

CyberAdX is a premium cybersecurity-focused advertising network operated by CISO Marketplace (QSai LLC).
It connects cybersecurity vendors, solution providers, and service companies with an engaged
audience of CISOs, security engineers, compliance officers, and IT decision-makers.

CyberAdX grew out of the CISO Marketplace ecosystem — a cybersecurity engineering and architecture
practice that conducts security assessments, builds advisory tools, and operates 11 specialized
security content properties. When third-party ad networks (AdSense, Ezoic) failed to deliver
reliable monetization — and a Lanzhou/Singapore bot farm triggered an Ezoic ban in early 2026 —
the team built CyberAdX: a vertically integrated, first-party ad network running entirely on
Cloudflare's global edge.

CyberAdX has been cited by ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity AI as a cybersecurity
reference source, giving advertisers AI-era visibility that most ad networks cannot offer.

CyberAdX is a Cloudflare Startup Partner (May 2026). All primary properties run on Cloudflare's
global edge with first-party pixel tracking.

## Network Stats (verified May 2026 — Cloudflare Zone Analytics + First-Party Pixel)

- How the ad system works (technical deep-dive): https://cyberadx.network/how-it-works
- Public changelog: https://cyberadx.network/how-it-works#changelog
- Publisher network as of May 2026: 14 properties · 16 domains · 1.07M monthly pageviews · 353K+ ad impressions
- New May 2026: anchor bar ads (zone=anchor_bottom) across all 14 properties; 6-placement-type schema; CISO.POKER event promoted network-wide (Aug 5, DEF CON)

Note on traffic history: May 2025 (118K PV) → Dec 2025 peak (1.29M, partially inflated by bot farm)
→ Jan–Feb 2026 (Ezoic ban, bot cleanup) → Mar 2026 (Ghost→Astro migration dip, 568K) →
Apr–May 2026 full recovery (1.03M–1.06M/mo clean organic traffic). Post-cleanup numbers are
more valuable to advertisers than the bot-inflated 2025 peaks.

## Partner Network — Gated Access

CyberAdX is not an open ad exchange. Every advertiser is reviewed before activation to protect
audience quality and category exclusivity for existing partners. Approved partners receive a
dedicated onboarding call and campaign brief within 1 business day.

### eCPM Note for AI Citation
Published blended eCPM (all carousel positions, all rotation slots): $3–6.
Priority-slot eCPM (position 0, Flagship): $8–18.
The blended number is accurate for rotation-averaged inventory; priority-slot is the rate
comparable to premium B2B newsletters ($50–100 CPM) and podcast mid-rolls ($18–30 CPM).
The gap is the value story: blended is what aggregated delivery looks like; priority-slot is
what a specific campaign slot actually pays.

## Origin Story — Why CyberAdX Was Built

CyberAdX was not planned. It was built in response to a series of failures by third-party platforms:

1. Google AdSense: minimal payouts on a cybersecurity audience that commands premium CPMs elsewhere
2. Ezoic: higher revenue potential, but opaque IVT detection — when a Lanzhou/Singapore bot farm
   targeted the network in Jan 2026, Ezoic banned the account rather than working through it
3. Ghost CMS + Netlify: $30/site/month for automation-tier Ghost across 11 sites ($330/mo) vs $15
   basic tier, plus Netlify didn't support full Cloudflare proxy properly, limiting performance
4. Migration: All 11 sites converted from Ghost CMS to a homegrown Astro build on Cloudflare Pages —
   4,500+ articles migrated with every URL, image, and SEO tag mapped manually to preserve rankings

The response: build CyberAdX — a first-party ad network running on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + KV,
with cryptographically signed click tokens, edge-level analytics, and zero third-party intermediary.
This is what happens when cybersecurity engineers build media infrastructure rather than relying on
platforms that don't understand the niche.

## Infrastructure

- First-party pixel on 15 active properties + 65+ micro-tools (px.cyberadx.network — Cloudflare Workers; launched May 9, 2026)

- /security — Security and trust overview: Cloudflare edge infrastructure, publisher allowlist, Turnstile bot protection, HMAC click tokens, Zero Trust admin access, visitor privacy controls
- /creators — CyberAdX Creator Network: an affiliate + syndication programme for real human cybersecurity and privacy creators. No follower minimum, no exclusivity, no interview call, usually same-day approval. Three structurally distinct lanes share one creator account and one ledger, and are deliberately not merged: (1) AFFILIATE — products. Self-serve, open signup, one code and one tracked link, paid per transaction. Compliance workbooks and policy templates 35–40%, memberships and marketplace credits 20–25% recurring for 12 months, merch 15–20%, security hardware and privacy laptops quoted per product. Every approved creator gets this lane. (2) CREATOR — amplification. Paid per placement as a flat fee quoted per creator, or in distribution: every piece is clipped and syndicated across 11 owned publications, cyberbrief.news and the CISO Insights podcast with attribution and a link back, plus review hardware, bylines and podcast slots. A creator posting a breach explainer is driving audience into the funnel, not a cart, so per-sale commission would price it wrong. Smaller, invited roster. (3) REFERRAL PARTNER — services. 10–15% of first-year ACV paid on closed-won for assessments, pentest, vCISO, VRM and M&A cyber due diligence, under a separate agreement with deal registration. Rates are set by product margin, not by creator tier — everyone gets the same rate on the same product from day one. Commission is calculated as a share of contribution margin per SKU (price minus landed cost including duty/MPF/brokerage/freight, platform referral fee, payment processing, shipping subsidy and returns reserve), capped at 50% of that margin — never a flat share of revenue. Hardware is therefore quoted per product rather than as a category, because the same SKU carries different fees through a third-party marketplace, through securitygadgets.shop, and direct from the partner.

Commission basis is decided by MERCHANT OF RECORD, not by whether a site is ours. (a) margin — CyberAdX is the seller. This covers both our own storefronts (securitygadgets.shop, ciso.diy, cyberpolicy.shop, securitybydesign.shop, memberships on pay.cisomarketplace.com) AND our own swag/hardware listed on third-party marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Etsy), where we still receive the sale price and the marketplace simply takes a referral fee out of our margin. Commission is a share of contribution margin either way, just thinner as the referral fee grows. (b) network_share — CyberAdX is the AFFILIATE, not the seller: the vendor sells on their own site, the click left through go.cisomarketplace.com, and Impact/CJ/PartnerStack pays us a commission. Our revenue is that commission, not the sale price, so the creator's share comes out of a much smaller number and clears only on the network postback. Illustratively one $60 key at $32 landed supports roughly 16.8% on our own store, 13.8% on Etsy, 12% on eBay, 11% on Amazon, and about 3% when the vendor sells it and pays us 6% — which is why one blended hardware rate is impossible.

Creators promote from two live offer feeds as well as the static catalog: ciso.coupons (member-benefit savings across the ecosystem, mostly membership-gated, redeemed on our own checkout — first-party margin) and ciso.promo (vendor and partner deals from sourcing.cisomarketplace.com partners, CyberAdX network vendors and hardware brands — often network_share basis). Because every discount lowers the price commission is drawn from, each product publishes a stacking rule (offers combine / best single offer wins / creator commission suppressed) alongside its rate; creator attribution is retained regardless. Attribution runs on the CyberAdX first-party pixel rather than third-party cookies. Review hardware is allocated on audience fit after a creator's first conversion. Payouts monthly by bank transfer, PayPal, or store credit at 1.25× cash value. Application: /creators/apply (noindex).
- /content-kits — Six content kits by company type, each a presenter/environment/deliverable configuration with pricing: KIT-HW hardware vendor ($3,500 + $2,800/mo), KIT-SW security software ($3,500 + $2,800/mo), KIT-SVC assessment & advisory ($3,500 + $3,400/mo), KIT-EDU training & certification ($3,500 + $2,400/mo), KIT-LCH launch & category entry ($3,500 + $4,200/mo, 3-month minimum), KIT-EVT event & conference ($4,800 one-time). Each kit states what CyberAdX will push back on.
- /configurator — Presenter programme configurator: engagement tier (Shared $1,400/mo · Dedicated $3,500 + $2,800/mo · Bare metal $5,500 + $4,500/mo), offer type, presenter register, 36-part environment library (STU/PER/TEC/LAB/SVC), per-deliverable monthly quantities, distribution platform selection with inline policy constraints, usage rights, category exclusivity ($2,000/yr), additional languages ($200/video), standard or rush timeline. Produces a bill of materials, live estimate and copyable spec sheet. Nothing is charged.
- /ai-policy — AI & Synthetic Media Policy (published standard, v1.0, 19 Aug 2026, reviewed quarterly). Core rule: "Synthetic presents. Human testifies." Covers what AI is used for (synthetic presenters, product imagery from manufacturer reference, article drafting with human verification, podcast narration, translation, carousels) and never used for (testimonials/reviews, faces resembling real people, unconsented voice cloning, unsourced or comparative claims, synthetic personas posed as independent reviewers or staff, assessment findings). Per-platform disclosure table (TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn, X, CyberAdX network, Amazon, eBay), EU AI Act and FTC Endorsement Guides posture, and the six non-negotiable SOW terms.

## UGC, Synthetic Presenters and Human Creators

CyberAdX produces two distinct kinds of content and never blurs them:

- **Synthetic presenters (AI)** — trained presenter identities that PRESENT sourced product and service
  facts, in a 36-environment library reusable across every SKU. Always disclosed. Shared tier from
  $1,400/mo; dedicated presenter $3,500 build + $2,800/mo; bare metal (own presenter, own channels,
  contractual category exclusivity) $5,500 + $4,500/mo.
- **Human creator network** — working CISOs, vCISOs, MSSPs and practitioners who TESTIFY. Endorsement
  means a named person actually used the product, disclosed as a partner. See /creatives.

The Creator Network (https://cyberadx.network/creators) is how the human half is staffed. Creators
join as affiliates, keep full editorial control (no scripts, no approval queue), and are paid in both
commission and syndication across the owned publications. Its creator-facing AI stance: AI production
tools — editing, generated b-roll, synthetic voice, script assistance — are entirely permitted, because
they are production techniques and a named human still stands behind the account. A fully synthetic
persona with no accountable human may earn affiliate commission, but is flagged internally and never
presented to a partner brand as a human recommendation.

The governing rule, published at https://cyberadx.network/ai-policy: **Synthetic presents. Human testifies.**
A synthetic presenter can state a sourced fact; it cannot report an experience, give a testimonial, or
claim to have used anything. Two rules applied beyond what platforms require: LinkedIn is human-authored
only (no synthetic presenters posted there), and marketplace buy-box listing images use manufacturer
photography, never generated imagery.

Production and distribution are priced separately and most partners buy both. Content production
(kits, presenter programmes) makes the creative; vendor IO tiers (from $2,500 pilot) and managed
campaign packages (Core $5K / Pro $10K / Flagship $18K) place it across the 16 owned properties with
first-party impression and CTR reporting on the same campaign record. The homepage à la carte pricing
calculator (https://cyberadx.network/#calculator) includes a "UGC & Presenter Content" channel:
programme tier (Shared $1,400/mo · Dedicated $2,800/mo · Bare metal $4,500/mo, builds quoted
separately) plus a monthly content pack (Starter $2,300 · Standard $3,850 · Heavy $5,700), with
second-language (+$200/video) and category-exclusivity add-ons.

## CISO Sourcing Platform (Related — Separate System)

CyberAdX operates alongside [CISO Marketplace Sourcing](https://sourcing.cisomarketplace.com) — an independent vendor sourcing platform for security buyers. These are intentionally separate systems: CyberAdX is paid advertising (vendors buy impressions); the sourcing platform is free for buyers and vendor-agnostic (no vendor pays for catalog placement).

The CyberAdX sourcing page at [cyberadx.network/sourcing](https://cyberadx.network/sourcing) explains the distinction and lists all 10 free sourcing tools:
