Security Bloggers Network Teams with Akamai
I am happy to tell you about the newest supporter of the Security Bloggers Network. Akamai Technologies is teaming with the SBN to promote a new paper and campaign they are running on “Why Security Begins at the Edge”.
For the next 3 months you will see banners on the SBN site linking to a great video and paper download from Akamai. In the coming days you will see them in the SBN feed as a sponsor posts as well.
Of course Akamai is also home to one of our favorite security people @csoandy. I am trying to set up a podcast with Andy and the author of the paper, Michael Cucchi, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Cloud Security at Akamai Technologies. Will let you know when we have a firm date for the podcast, but look for it soon!
It looks like some great stuff that Akamai is advocating in this campaign. Go see for yourself if you like, but let them know the readers and authors of the SBN appreciate their support!
Akamai joins RSA Conference and Trainer Communications as supporters of the SBN. Thanks to all of them for their support that allows us to bring this great resource to you. Also special shout out to Kevin Riggins of infosecramblings.com who is the man behind the curtain making a lot of the technical stuff work for that SBN feed to be delivered all day, every day.
Trainer Communications – The Official Public Relations Partner and Sponsor of the Security
Bloggers Network!
The Security Bloggers Network is very pleased to announce that Trainer Communications has agreed to become the official sponsor and communications partner of the SBN. Trainer Communications is an award winning PR firm that has a long and successful history providing services to the IT industry in general with a special emphasis in the security industry for 20 years.
We are proud to be affiliated with Susan Thomas, Joe Franscella and the rest of the team at Trainer. You can find out more about Trainer here. Besides the sponsorship, Trainer will be working the SBN to raise our visibility in the market. We are very excited with this new affiliation!
The Security Bloggers Network Has A Platinum Sponsor, RSA Conference!
I am deeply humbled and proud to announce that the Security Bloggers Network has a Platinum Sponsor. The great folks atRSA Conference have stepped up and agreed to be the premier sponsor of the Security Bloggers Network for an entire year!
This will allow the SBN to put into motion many of the programs and plans that we have been trying to bring to the community. With almost 300 blogs in the network, the SBN is the largest collection of security blogs in the world. Every blog and each blogger have requested to be part of the network. In the near future look for the SBN site to become a key destination for both security bloggers and those who read them.
The RSA Conference team have always been leaders and big supporters of the security bloggers movement. From being one of the first conferences to recognize bloggers with press credentials, to sponsoring the annual security bloggers meet up, to having a great stable of security bloggers on the site itself, the folks at RSA Conference have led the way in supporting the community. With this sponsorship they continue that tradition. As part of the sponsorship agreement, the RSA Conference will also highlight many of the blogs in the SBN to give the bloggers additional exposure.
We are very excited to be working with RSA Conference and thank them for their support!
What does this mean for you? Well if you are a blogger in the SBN you will receive a email shortly with some of the details of what more the SBN will soon be offering. If you are a reader of the SBN blog feed or the SBN site, you hopefully will be able to take your SBN in smaller chunks rather than drinking from the fire hose. Also we are looking at some new stuff that will give you a chance to rate the blog posts and fashion your own feeds.
For me this goes along way towards enabling the vision I have had for the SBN almost 4 years ago. We are still looking for other sponsors to enable some of the development and work we need to have done to make the SBN better and more useful then ever. The goal is to become the largest collection of security related content in the world and deliver it to readers they way they want to read it.
If you or your organization would like to also sponsor the SBN please contact me at info@securitybloggersnetwork.com.
