Three actors, one ecosystem

Vendor vs. Partner vs. Member.

CyberAdX serves Vendors — product companies buying advertising distribution. If you're looking for a relationship layer or buyer-side access, you might be looking at a different door.

Why CyberAdX

Three reasons this isn't a generic ad network.

Programmatic exchanges sell traffic at scale. CyberAdX sells access to a verified audience. The difference matters when your buyer is a CISO, not a checkout cart.

A

Audience verification

Every property in the network attracts security practitioners by editorial design. No bot traffic. No incentivized clicks. Audience verified through first-party signal: working CISOs, vCISOs, GRC pros, offensive security operators. We refuse to run incentivized impression buying.

B

First-party data

Daily-rotating SHA-256 IP hashing. DNT and GPC honored at the request level. Zero data leakage to third-party trackers. No cookie-based identity stitching. Privacy-respecting by infrastructure, not by promise. Built on Cloudflare Workers with our own pixel infrastructure.

C

Editorial integration

Sponsored articles aren't ad units. They're written by the same editorial team behind the daily podcast and 11 content blogs. Your placement reads as native content because it is. Buyers know the difference between a banner and a thoughtful editorial integration.

Vendor pricing

Pilot first. Commit when you're ready.

Start with a 30-day pilot — no commitment, no long contract, just a real campaign. When the fit is proven, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual insertion orders give you sustained editorial presence at better economics. Longer commitments unlock more properties, more content, and category exclusivity.

◆ Starting prices — final scope, deliverables, and pricing confirmed in your scoping call. Upfront billing at listed price; monthly billing available for 6-month and annual IOs (+5%).

What comes next

Editorial layer. Then amplification layer.

Vendor IOs are the content and editorial layer — sponsored articles, podcast episodes, banner rotation, targeted by property and persona. Once you've tested the editorial fit with a pilot, vendors ready to scale add the amplification layer: managed multichannel campaigns that stack social, newsletter, YouTube, and priority carousel positioning on top of editorial. The two aren't competing. They compose.

1

Test with a pilot

A 30-day pilot proves audience fit, creative direction, and whether the editorial integration lands. Cheapest way to find out before committing.

2

Commit to editorial presence

Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual IOs give you sustained editorial presence — more articles, more podcast touchpoints, more properties over time.

From $7,500 / quarterSee vendor tiers ↑
3

Add managed amplification

Core / Pro / Flagship managed packages layer social posts, newsletter placements, YouTube mentions, and priority carousel positions on top of your editorial base.

Managed packages — Core / Pro / Flagship

Banner rotation across all 15 properties · Social amplification (LinkedIn + X + YouTube/TikTok) · Newsletter placements · Priority carousel positions · Article-level attribution reporting. From $5,000/mo.

Recent vendor pilot

What a $2,500 pilot actually delivers.

Anonymized metrics from a recent 30-day pilot with a security research distribution client. Your campaign metrics will vary by category, creative, and targeting — this is one data point from a real campaign in May 2026.

Pilot · May 2026

Security research distribution · 30-day pilot

A specialty AI cybersecurity research firm wanted to introduce their research approach to senior security buyers without the overhead of building a content distribution function.

Scope: 3 sponsored articles across breached.company, compliancehub.wiki, and cisomarketplace.com. 1 sponsored podcast episode. Banner rotation across all three properties for 30 days.

Outcome: Generated qualified inquiries to the client's product page within the pilot window. Engagement signals exceeded the network's pilot baseline by ~40%. Conversation initiated about quarterly IO expansion.

How it works

From inquiry to live campaign in 7–14 days.

Pilots are fast because the scope is contained. Quarterly and annual IOs take a bit longer because we work through audience targeting, creative direction, and editorial planning together.

1

Inquire

Submit the inquiry form or email [email protected]. Tell us about your product, audience, and what you're trying to accomplish.

2

Scoping call

15-min discovery call to align on fit. We'll discuss audience targeting, creative direction, properties, and timing. No commitment yet.

3

Proposal + IO

4

Sign & pay

Sign the IO via DocuSign or PandaDoc. Stripe invoice or ACH for payment. Crypto accepted (SOL/ETH/BNB/MATIC) for any tier.

Editorial team builds the campaign: writing articles, recording podcast episodes, configuring banner placements. Build time: 5–7 days.

6

Launch + report
