Editorial opportunities 2026

Last update: Monday, July 27.

This page is updated regularly with upcoming stories and areas where we’re seeking expert insights. PR agencies and vendors can use this as a single reference point to understand what our newsroom is working on.

A few important notes before pitching:

• Please suggest relevant spokespeople rather than sending written comments directly. Once we confirm interest, we’ll provide specific questions.
• We’re not looking to feature marketing, sales, or product leaders. Instead, we want technical experts, CISOs, researchers, or executives who can bring hands-on knowledge and insight.

We also spotlight hardware devices, and vendors are welcome to send us units for testing. All review samples should be shipped from within the EU. If shipped from outside the EU, the sender is responsible for covering all import taxes and fees with the courier at the time of shipping.
